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.	Comparative autoethnography is a qualitative design in which two or more researchers — or research participants — independently produce first-person self-narratives about a shared phenomenon and then systematically compare those accounts to generate broader cultural insight. By juxtaposing lived experiences that differ by context, identity, or setting, the approach moves beyond the single-voice limitations of traditional autoethnography while retaining its hallmark reflexivity and personal depth.
