Over the past three decades, American higher education has witnessed a shift in demographics which has created a more diverse student body. However, many university campuses remain unsupportive or even hostile to minority faculty and students. This anthology introduces to readers the Difference, Power, and Discrimination (DPD) Program, a 15-year-old curricular model, at Oregon State University. DPD is concerned with helping students understand the complex dynamics of difference, power, and discrimination and how these dynamics influence institutions, with the goal of empowering students to alleviate oppression and other negative outcomes. Teaching for Change addresses the needs of those who are engaged in diversity training and curricular reforms both in higher education and public schools. It will serve as a useful guide for administrators as well as teaching faculty who are interested in initiating similar programs.

"Los Angeles as a cultural capital did not exist in 1960 when Franklin D. Murphy, M.D., rode into town. Over the ensuing thirty years, more than any other single individual, it was he who put it on the cultural map. In a brilliant work that includes a set of now-it-can-be-told institutional histories, Margaret Leslie Davis writes the history of an exceptional city at an exceptional time through the life story of a little-known but utterly exceptional man."--Jack Miles, Pulitzer Prize winner and Distinguished Professor of English, University of California, Irvine
"Rarely has a city and a man been better suited to one another. In this fascinating biography, Margaret Leslie Davis tells us how one man--as chancellor, corporate leader, and cultural entrepreneur--supercharged the transformation of a regional city into a world-class metropolis."--Kevin Starr, Professor, University of Southern California, and former California State Librarian
"Once again, Margaret Leslie Davis has chosen a fascinating subject and produced a compelling--and revelatory--biography. Franklin D. Murphy may not have been the most visible architect of the 'new' Los Angeles but he may well have been the single most influential figure of his time, leaving his fingerprints on everything from the expanded UCLA to the Getty Center. Anyone who lives in 21st century L.A. should learn about the man who shaped the city's culture as we know it."--Leonard Maltin, film critic and historian
"Franklin D. Murphy left an enormous imprint on Los Angeles because he touched so many different spheres. Thankfully, Murphy has a biographer whose protean knowledge rivals her subject's. Margaret Leslie Davis's fluency acrosstopics--medicine and education; art and architecture; industry and media; philanthropy, politics and civic affairs--is absolutely stunning."--Rick Wartzman, Los Angeles Times columnist and author of "The King of California: J.G. Boswell and the Making of a Secret American Empire"
"At the height of his cultural and educational authority, Franklin Murphy was everywhere in Los Angeles. In this fine biography, Margaret Leslie Davis has traced his extraordinary influence and legacy. "The Culture Broker" is a careful tracing of the life and work of arguably the most important cultural figure in all of 20th century Los Angeles."--William Deverell, Director, Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West

""Dark Side of Fortune is a brilliant biography of the tarnished oil tycoon, Edward Doheny, whose importance as an American industrial pioneer ranks with such better-known figures as Rockefeller and Carnegie. Margaret Leslie Davis has written a superbly researched and definitive account of the founder of the modern petroleum industry in California and of his machinations in Mexico and the involvement in the notorious Teapot Dome scandal. Davis has a sympathetic understanding of Doheny but tells his story warts and all. He emerges from the compelling biography as a conflicted man who is at once a hero and a scoundrel--and above all an American original who seems larger than life."--Lou Cannon

"The life of Edward L. Doheny offers a fascinating saga of early twentieth century American triumph and tragedy. "Dark Side of Fortune, based on significant new archival discoveries, resurrects Doheny in a sympathetic, yet not uncritical, and always readable, biography, shedding new light on the oil industry, U.S. relations with Mexico, and the political scandals of the 1920s."--Jules Tygiel, San Francisco State University

"In terms of family saga, the Doheny story is the Ariadne's thread of Los Angeles history. It is perhaps the best pathway both into--and out of!--the labyrinth of the founding era. Thanks to Margaret Davis's "Dark Side of Fortune, the full story of this previously mysterious Los Angeles Founder, his determined wife, and their murdered son stands revealed in all its resonant complexity. Ours is rapidly becoming a golden era of California biography, and here (once again, UC Press!) is further proof."--Dr. Kevin Starr, State Librarian of California

"Margaret Davis' "Dark Sideof Fortune is pure California gold, a biography laced with adventure and misadventure, a carefully researched history that reads like today's investigative reporting, a briskly told tale rife with international hugger-mugger and domestic hanky-panky. And best of all, it just might rewrite the story of that White House horror of another year, the Teapot Dome scandal."--Ed Cray, University of Southern California; author of "Chief Justice: A Biography of Earl Warren

"Once again, Margaret Davis has demonstrated that she is a gifted writer and that truth is more fascinating than fiction."--Burt Kennedy, Brigade Productions

"Behind Doheny's brash self-confidence and his mighty oil empire lurks the image of la calavera, like a skeleton in the closet. Death would undo many--from Doheny's murdered son to the fallen reputation of Harding's administration after the Teapot Dome scandal. This dramatic and historical tale reads like a novel. Davis has once again revealed a vital part of Los Angeles history and its national implications."--Noel Riley Fitch, author of "Appetite for Life: The Biography of Julia Child
