Stephen Cunha

Geography

Geography Professor Stephen Cunha's "Phase Change: The Western Ski Industry in Transition" appears in the Spring 2017 issue of Pacifica. The alpine ski industry in the west began in 1927 with a modest rope tow up a 164-foot hill near Lake Tahoe. Today, 125 resorts blanket 11 western states, BC, and Yukon. Changes during the last decade include the consolidation of resorts under corporate ownership, annual passes that apply to multiple areas across several states, the vertical integration of resort operations, and adaptations to a warming climate.

Leena Dallasheh

History

Leena Dallasheh, Assistant Professor of History, recently published an article in the peer-reviewed Journal of Palestine Studies. The article, entitled "Persevering through Colonial Transition: Nazareth’s Palestinian Residents after 1948" reexamines the ambivalent relationship between Nazareth’s political leadership and the newly established State of Israel to argue that the Palestinian citizens of Israel were neither traitors and collaborators, on the one hand, nor passively quiescent, on the other. Rather, as a new national minority, Palestinians overcame myriad forms of control as they negotiated the structural obstacles placed before them by their new overlords.
