This study explores the representation of ethnic oppression in R.F. Kuang’s The Poppy War (2018) using a qualitative literary approach. It focuses on three main objectives: (1) identifying indicators of ethnic oppression within the novel; (2) analyzing how these forms of oppression are portrayed through literary elements such as characterization, setting, and plot; and (3) examining the motivations behind Kuang’s engagement with this theme. The primary data source is the novel itself, supported by secondary materials including academic journals, interviews, and historical texts. The analysis reveals three dominant indicators of ethnic oppression in the novel: systemic marginalization, cultural erasure, and institutional prejudice. These are conveyed through narrative elements and key events involving marginalized groups such as the Speerlies. The findings suggest that Kuang uses the fantasy setting of The Poppy War to reflect on historical injustices and process personal and familial trauma rooted in real-world events. Through this lens, the novel serves as both social critique and historical reflection.

The ideological and political agenda of different groups are often put forward by way of hate speech and intolerant messages towards members of different ethno-religious groups. In this context, religious education could play a key part in promoting more positive views about diversity. This article presents an investigation into the curriculum of existing Islamic Religious Education in four junior high schools in Solo, as well as teachers and students’ perceptions regarding religious diversity. The research results show that the curriculum lacks content that aims at co-existence and peace education. Also, around a third of the teachers and students reported intolerant attitudes towards different religions. The results were then followed up by a pilot project to develop the Islam-based Peace Education (IPE), which aims at building pacifist character in youth, through teaching mutual respect, non-violence, social justice, and co-existence, by using Islamic values derived from al-Qur’an andSunnah. Kepentingan ideologis dan politik berbagai golongan dalam memperebutkan kuasa ditengarai telah membuat masyarakat terpecah-belah oleh perbedaan etnis dan agama, sehingga rentan terhadap ketegangan antarkelompok, konflik, dan bahkan kekerasan berdarah, termasuk yang sering terjadi pada masyarakat majemuk di kota Solo. Dalam konteks ini, pendidikan agama memegang peran kunci untuk membentuk sikap yang lebih toleran terhadap perbedaan. Artikel ini meneliti muatan kurikulum Pendidikan Agama Islam di empat SMP di Solo, dan persepsi guru serta peserta didik tentang keanekaragaman agama dan budaya. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa muatan kurikulum yang mengajarkan hidup berdampingan dalam keanekara- gaman secara damai ternyata masih kurang memadai, Sekitar sepertiga guru dan siswa ditengarai memiliki sikap intoleran terhadap perbedaan agama. Hasil penelitian ini ditindaklanjuti dengan program rintisan Pendidikan Perdamaian Berbasis Islam (PPBI) yang bertujuan mensosialisasikan nilai-nilai keadilan, nir- kekerasan, dan perdamaian sebagaimana diajarkan Islam melalui dua sumber utamanya, al-Qur’an danSunnah.

The urgency of this research lies in the need for inclusive STEM education in under-resourced settings, demonstrating that low-cost technology can effectively foster innovation and active learning. The purpose of this study is to analyze the representation of the use of simple and low-cost technology in the context of education in the film Spare Parts (2015), as well as to examine how the characters in it demonstrate creativity, collaboration, and innovation in facing resource constraints, in order to identify educational values related to STEM empowerment conveyed through the film’s narrative. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method to analyze the representation of low-cost technology and STEM empowerment in the film Spare Parts (2015). The object of the study is the film directed by Sean McNamara, with scenes, dialogues, character actions, and visual elements as the primary data. Data collection was conducted through repeated film viewing, documentation of relevant scenes, and literature review of scholarly sources related to STEM education, educational technology, and film studies. Data analysis involved identifying, categorizing, and interpreting film elements based on the theoretical framework. To ensure data validity, theory triangulation was applied by integrating the Philosophy of Technology, STEM Empowerment Theory, and Sociocultural Learning Theory. This study concludes that Spare Parts (2015) portrays low-cost technology, creativity, and STEM learning as interconnected processes shaped by limited resources. The film shows that resource constraints can stimulate innovation through improvisation, trial and error, and collaborative problem-solving, where students transform simple materials into functional technology. By emphasizing student agency, mentorship, and teamwork, the film represents STEM empowerment as a holistic learning process that fosters confidence, creativity, and meaningful educational experiences in resource-limited contexts. The findings suggest that film-based narratives like Spare Parts can be used as pedagogical tools to inspire creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving while promoting affordable STEM learning approaches.

Bilingual education in Indonesia increasingly emphasizes both linguistic competence and character development, yet limited research examines how international pedagogical models can be adapted to local contexts. This qualitative case study investigates the implementation of empathy-based teaching approaches inspired by the film Freedom Writers (2007) in three bilingual schools in Surakarta, Indonesia. Data were collected over 2 months (October - November 2025) through classroom observations, teacher interviews, and student reflections. Thematic analysis revealed five key outcomes: transformed classroom atmospheres fostering student voice, enhanced language proficiency through reflective writing, strengthened critical thinking via culturally relevant curriculum, and improved socio-emotional competencies. Despite challenges including time constraints and cultural adaptation needs, findings demonstrate that empathetic, student-centered pedagogy significantly enhances both academic and character outcomes in bilingual settings. This study contributes empirical evidence for integrating transformative pedagogical approaches within Indonesian educational contexts while respecting local values and bilingual learning objectives.

This qualitative study explores how special education teachers (SLB) in Surakarta negotiate humanistic and personalized pedagogical approaches within increasingly standardized educational systems. Drawing on critical pedagogy theory and inclusive education frameworks, this research examines the tensions between transformative, student-centered pedagogical ideals (such as those popularized in cultural narratives like Freedom Writers) and the structural, administrative, and resource constraints faced by SLB teachers working with students with diverse disabilities. Through semi-structured interviews with five special education teachers from public SLB institutions in Surakarta, this study investigates how educators conceptualize authentic connection, individualized attention, and transformative learning for students with intellectual, sensory, and physical disabilities who often face compounded marginalization due to poverty and social stigma. The findings reveal significant gaps between pedagogical ideals and practical realities, including excessive administrative burdens, inadequate funding for adaptive materials, high student-teacher ratios, outcome-driven assessment pressures, and limited emotional support systems for teachers. This study argues that while humanistic education promises to transform marginalized students' lives, systemic barriers in Indonesian special education prevent teachers from fully realizing this vision. This research contributes to ongoing debates about inclusive education in developing contexts and offers implications for reimagining special education policy that prioritises teacher capacity, student dignity, and authentic learning over bureaucratic compliance.

This study aims to analyse the glorification of the Roaring Twenties in Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris through a biographical criticism approach. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach using biographical criticism to analyse the glorification of the Roaring Twenties in Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris (2011). The data consist of dialogues, visual scenes, and audio elements taken from the film, supported by secondary sources such as scholarly articles and director interviews. The analysis is conducted through hermeneutic interpretation to examine how narrative, visual, and sound elements reflect Allen’s personal worldview and artistic longing. The findings reveal that Midnight in Paris (2011) strongly glorifies the Roaring Twenties through nostalgic figures, events, products, characterisation, style, and setting. The film represents the 1920s as a cultural and artistic golden age, portraying writers and artists as idealised cultural icons while emphasising creativity, elegance, and emotional fulfilment. This romanticised depiction contrasts sharply with the cynical, materialistic modern world, illustrating how nostalgia functions as an emotional response to contemporary dissatisfaction and shapes viewers’ perceptions of the past.
