Muhtasari	Multiple case-based autoethnography is a qualitative design that extends autoethnographic inquiry across two or more researcher-participants or cases, enabling systematic comparison of personal lived experiences within a shared cultural or social phenomenon. By generating rich first-person narratives from each case and then conducting a structured cross-case analysis, the approach combines the depth and reflexivity of autoethnography with the comparative analytical power of multiple case design.	Autoethnography is a qualitative research method in which the researcher uses systematic self-reflection and personal narrative to examine their own experiences within a cultural, social, or organizational context. By treating the self as both subject and instrument, autoethnography connects individual lived experience to broader cultural patterns, making personal stories analytically and socially significant. It bridges autobiography and ethnography, producing accounts that are simultaneously evocative and scholarly.
