Samenvatting	Critical phenomenology is a qualitative research approach that merges classical phenomenological methods with critical theory to examine how structural forces — race, gender, class, disability, and other axes of power — shape and constrain lived experience. Rather than pursuing neutral description of universal essences, it asks whose experiences are centred, whose are marginalised, and how oppressive social structures are reproduced in the body and in everyday life. It has been consolidated as a distinct field by scholars such as Lisa Guenther, Gayle Salamon, and Alia Al-Saji.	Participatory phenomenology combines the depth of phenomenological inquiry — attending to the lived structure of experience — with the democratic ethos of participatory research, in which those being studied become active co-researchers. Rather than treating participants as data sources, the approach positions them as collaborative investigators of their own experiential world, producing knowledge that is both phenomenologically rich and collectively validated.
