Dynamics of Difference and Power

Dynamics of Difference and Power

In 2006, the faculty of the College endorsed an optional component to its General Education Program dealing with the study of the Dynamics of Difference and Power (DDP). Completion of a DDP course is not a requirement, but rather an aspiration that all students are urged to fulfill. A DDP course is one that uses class, ethnicity, gender, race, religion and/or sexuality as categories of analysis and that examines power at the interpersonal, local, national and/or international levels. For a complete list of all DDP courses and their descriptions, see the Dynamics of Difference & Power Courses  section of this catalog. For a list of DDP courses offered in a particular semester, please use the online course schedule on My.Pomona and search for the course area “PO DDP Courses”.
