My favorite professor at Yale died.
After a three-year fight with melanoma, humanities professor María Rosa Menocal passed away Monday afternoon.
A Sterling professor of the humanities since 2005, Menocal served as director of the Whitney Humanities Center from 2001 to 2012. She told the Yale Bulletin in 2005 that the WHC is “the University’s center for conversations across the arts and humanities,” and spearheaded a period of expansion at the Center, where she appointed 285 fellows from several different academic fields and added new programs such as “Films at the Whitney.”
María Rosa was a brilliant lecturer, a kind wonderful person, and a passionate scholar.
This is too sad for words.
