Përmbledhja	Comparative life history research is a qualitative approach that collects extended first-person accounts of individuals' lives across two or more cases, groups, or social contexts, then systematically compares these accounts to identify shared patterns, divergences, and the social forces that shape biographical trajectories. It bridges the depth of life history with the analytical leverage of cross-case comparison, making it especially powerful for understanding how social structure, culture, or institutional context shapes individual experience over time.	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.
