Ringkasan	Critical life history research combines the biographical depth of life history methodology with critical theory perspectives — drawing on feminist, Marxist, postcolonial, or critical race frameworks — to examine how structural power relations, social inequalities, and institutional forces shape individual lives. Rather than treating a life story as a purely personal account, this approach reads it as evidence of wider social and political conditions, using individual narratives to surface systemic patterns of oppression, resistance, and agency.	Oral history is a qualitative research method that collects, preserves, and interprets first-person spoken accounts of past events, experiences, and social processes. By recording in-depth interviews with individuals who witnessed or participated in historical events, oral historians document perspectives that written records often exclude. The method bridges historical scholarship and social science, treating the narrator's memory, subjectivity, and voice as primary evidence rather than as limitations to be corrected.
