Este artigo propõe as histórias de vida como uma ferramenta metodológica para abordar questões interseccionais complexas na investigação de audiências. Começa por analisar a investigação interseccional existente sobre audiências, juntamente com contribuições metodológicas sobre histórias de vida provenientes de várias ciências sociais. Com base nas conclusões do projeto de I&D [Anon], o artigo avalia então tanto o potencial como os desafios da utilização de histórias de vida na investigação interseccional de audiências. Três potencialidades principais são destacadas: a adequação do método para abordagens interseccionais, a sua capacidade de centrar as vozes dos jovens e contrariar o adultocentrismo e o impacto social dos seus resultados. Ao mesmo tempo, isso implica três grandes desafios: construir ambientes cuidadosos e de confiança, abordar as hierarquias de poder por meio da autorreflexividade e gerenciar as restrições de tempo e recursos. O artigo termina defendendo mais pesquisas interseccionais e um trabalho metodológico reflexivo mais profundo dentro dos estudos da comunicação.
