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.
