Muhtasari	Participatory oral history is a qualitative research design in which community members act as co-researchers alongside academic investigators to collect, interpret, and share first-person accounts of lived experience and collective memory. Drawing on Michael Frisch's concept of 'shared authority,' it repositions research participants as active agents in the knowledge-production process rather than passive informants, making it especially powerful for documenting marginalized voices and community-held histories that would otherwise remain invisible in official archives.	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.
