Sammanfattning	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.	Hermeneutic phenomenology is a qualitative research approach that investigates the interpreted meaning of lived experience from within the existential conditions that shape it. Rooted in Heidegger's ontology and developed as an empirical method by Max van Manen, it does not seek to bracket or suspend the researcher's understanding but instead treats that understanding as the very medium through which the meaning of experience can be disclosed. The approach is widely used in education, nursing, and social sciences to explore how people dwell in, and make sense of, their world.
