Within sociology, biographical research has expanded during the last 20 years. The common ground is still the interest in understanding the interrelation between societal developments (including those on a global scale) and the experiential world of people. How experiences are organized in specific social contexts in the perspective of a lifetime and its generational relations to get oriented in everyday life and in the world, is the core topic in biographical research. This article gives an insight into recent methodological developments in biographical research and its variety of contributions to major issues of globalizing societies, such as history and memory; collective identities; migration and transnational biographies; gender and intersectionality; and the search for new concepts of inclusion.
