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.	Narrative inquiry is a qualitative research methodology that treats stories and life narratives as primary data, analyzing how individuals construct meaning and identity through storytelling. Developed by D. Jean Clandinin and F. Michael Connelly (2000), narrative inquiry examines the narratives people tell about their lives, experiences, and transitions, understanding that people make sense of experience through narrative.
