Abstract

This service activity is motivated by students' low understanding of the packaging of historical content into educational products with economic value, and the non-optimal integration of entrepreneurial values in history learning. The purpose of this activity is to foster the entrepreneurial spirit of students through edupreneurship developed in the form of local history-based exhibitions. The method used is a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach that involves students as active subjects in training, production, and marketing of historical products, as well as organizing exhibition activities. The activity began with training on basic edupreneur concepts, product packaging, and marketing strategies. The activity featured a variety of creative products such as traditional snacks, replicas of pinisi ships, and souvenirs with local history motifs. This activity succeeded in increasing students' capacity to think critically, innovate, and work together productively. The entrepreneurship talk show held at the same time also strengthened students' motivation and entrepreneurial insights. The results of the activity show that the history exhibition is effective as a medium for transforming contextual, applicable, and economically valuable history learning through an edupreneurship approach.

Abstract

Understanding just and unjust wars required fresh perspectives that moved beyond traditional frameworks rooted in Western thought. This study explored such perspectives through Afrofuturism, an interdisciplinary approach that combined international studies, cultural theory, and speculative fiction. The study adopted a qualitative, interdisciplinary methodology combining literary analysis, cultural theory, and international relations. It examined key Afrofuturist works—including novels by Octavia Butler and Nnedi Okorafor, music from artists like Sun Ra and Janelle Monáe, and visual art—to uncover alternative perspectives on war, resistance, and liberation. Data collection involved reviewing these creative texts alongside scholarly literature from international relations and postcolonial studies. Using thematic content analysis, the study identified recurring themes of conflict and justice in Afrofuturist narratives and compared them with traditional theories such as realism and liberalism to reveal Afrofuturism’s unique contributions. The study examined just and unjust wars through ethical, legal, and historical perspectives alongside international relations theories and postcolonial critiques. It introduced Afrofuturism to reimagine conflict and resistance, focusing on African diaspora identity, colonial legacies, and creative expressions of liberation. Emphasizing youth, cultural memory, and empathy, the research offered insights for peacebuilding and policy in international studies. The findings demonstrated Afrofuturism’s power to deepen empathy, foster cultural resilience, and inspire global citizenship, offering transformative insights into the nature of war and peace. The research ultimately called for greater inclusion of Afrofuturist perspectives within international studies education, policy development, and peacebuilding initiatives to encourage more imaginative and inclusive approaches toward conflict resolution and social justice.
