สรุป	Critical autoethnography combines the self-reflective personal narrative of autoethnography with the social-justice orientation of critical theory. The researcher uses their own lived experience as primary data to interrogate power structures, systemic inequalities, and cultural norms — treating the personal not merely as testimony but as a site for political and theoretical critique. It is widely used to center the voices of marginalized groups and challenge dominant social narratives.	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.
