Sintesi	Longitudinal autoethnography is a qualitative research design in which the researcher systematically documents, reflects on, and analyzes their own lived experience across an extended period — typically months to years. By combining the self-reflexive focus of autoethnography with a longitudinal temporal structure, this approach reveals how personal meanings, identities, and social understandings evolve over time. It bridges the personal and the cultural, producing richly layered narratives that connect individual transformation to broader social processes.	Narrative inquiry is a qualitative research methodology that treats stories and life narratives as primary data, analyzing how individuals construct meaning and identity through storytelling. Developed by D. Jean Clandinin and F. Michael Connelly (2000), narrative inquiry examines the narratives people tell about their lives, experiences, and transitions, understanding that people make sense of experience through narrative.
