Mary Ellen Miller (born December 30, 1952)[1] is an American art historian and academician specializing in Mesoamerica and the Maya. Academic careerA native of New York State, Miller earned her A.B. degree from Princeton University and her Ph.D. from Yale in 1981 with a thesis titled The Murals of Bonampak, Chiapas Mexico.[2] Miller joined the Yale faculty in 1981,[3] and in 1998 was appointed as the Vincent Scully, Jr. Professor of the History of Art. Miller served as the Master of Saybrook College from 1999 until the autumn of 2008, when she was both appointed as Sterling Professor and named the replacement of Peter Salovey as Dean of Yale College. She was the first woman to hold Yale College's highest office,[4] and served as dean from December 2008 to June 2014.[5] When Yale University President, Richard C. Levin, announced Miller's appointment as dean, he had nothing but praise for her: "Mary is the embodiment of what you look for in a Yale College dean," Levin said in an interview after the official appointment ceremony held in Luce Hall. "She is a magnificent scholar, a devoted teacher and a terrific master."[4] Miller cited a desire to return to academia as her reason for stepping down from the deanship position in 2014.[5] She has also served as the Chair of the History of Art, Latin American Studies, and Archaeological Studies Departments at Yale, as well as Director of Undergraduate Studies of the History of Art. She is now the Senior Director for the Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage Art of the Ancient New World at Yale.[6] In January 2019, she will become the director of the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. Exhibition ProjectsMiller served as the guest curator for "The Courtly Art of the Ancient Maya", a highly acclaimed exhibition of Maya art that took place in 2004 at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. For that exhibition, she wrote the catalogue of the same title—a finalist for the Alfred H. Barr Jr. Award of the College Art Association—with Simon Martin, senior epigrapher at the University Museum, University of Pennsylvania. A previous exhibition catalogue, The Blood of Kings, co-authored with Linda Schele was awarded the Barr Prize in 1986. Other Projects and PublicationsMiller has worked, together with Beatriz de la Fuente, Stephen Houston, Karl Taube and artists Heather Hurst and Leonard Ashby, for many years on her archaeological project to document and reconstruct the Maya wall paintings at Bonampak, Mexico,[7] which resulted in two standard works, namely The Murals of Bonampak (1986) and, together with Claudia Brittenham, The Spectacle of the Late Maya Court; Reflections on the Murals of Bonampak (2013). Miller is also the author of several overviews written for a general public, specifically Maya Art and Architecture, The Art of Mesoamerica and, along with the aforementioned Karl Taube, The Gods and Symbols of Ancient Mexico and the Maya: An Illustrated Dictionary of Mesoamerican Religion. Her many articles address questions of Aztec and Maya art, as well as the historiography of Precolumbian art. A few additional works include:
In 2017, Prof. Miller spoke in support of the authenticity of the Grolier Codex, the most recently discovered Maya codex. According to Miller, some of the seeming errors in the manuscript can be explained because, in the context of its time, this manuscript was "only a modest, workaday object likely created by a provincial artist".[11] RecognitionMiller has won national recognition for her work on the Maya, including a Guggenheim Fellowship. She is also a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In April and May 2010, she delivered the 59th A. W. Mellon lectures at the National Gallery. During her tenure as dean at Yale College, Dr. Miller was able to secure a $1.8 million award from the Mellon Foundation for an "integrated Humanities Program" for Yale doctoral students in May 2012.[12] Additionally, she delivered the Slade Lectures at Cambridge University during the academic year 2014-2015.[13] References1. ^{{cite linked authority file|id=n84-224562|accessdate=2008-05-08}} 2. ^{{cite web | title = The Murals of Bonampak, Chiapas Mexico | first = Mary | last = Miller | url = http://search.proquest.com/docview/303162446/ | publisher = ProQuest | accessdate = January 21, 2014}} 3. ^{{Cite web|title = MARY MILLER TO BE NAMED DEAN TODAY|url = http://yaledailynews.com/blog/2008/10/10/mary-miller-to-be-named-dean-today/|website = yaledailynews.com|accessdate = 2015-12-05}} 4. ^1 {{Cite web|title = MARY MILLER APPOINTED DEAN AT FRIDAY CEREMONY|url = http://yaledailynews.com/blog/2008/10/10/mary-miller-appointed-dean-at-friday-ceremony/|website = yaledailynews.com|accessdate = 2015-12-06}} 5. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://yaledailynews.com/blog/2014/01/24/miller-and-pollard-depart-deanships/|title=Miller and Pollard depart deanships|publisher=yaledailynews.com blog|accessdate=20 July 2016}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=https://arthistory.yale.edu/people/mary-miller|title=Mary Miller {{!}} Department of the History of Art|website=arthistory.yale.edu|language=en|access-date=2018-04-06}} 7. ^Bonampak Documentation Project {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090918213617/http://www.yale.edu/bonampak/references.html |date=2009-09-18 }}, Yale 8. ^{{Cite web|title = Yale University :: Department of the History of Art|url = http://arthistory.yale.edu/faculty/faculty/faculty_miller.html|website = arthistory.yale.edu|accessdate = 2015-12-05|deadurl = yes|archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20151128071847/http://arthistory.yale.edu/faculty/faculty/faculty_miller.html|archivedate = 2015-11-28|df = }} 9. ^{{Cite web|title = The Maya collapsed - could we? - CNN.com|url = http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/07/opinion/miller-maya-apocalypse/index.html|website = CNN|accessdate = 2015-12-05}} 10. ^{{Citation|url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDudtA1nVa4|title=The Splendid Maya Murals of Bonampak, Mexico|publisher=Yale Lectures|accessdate = 2015-12-05}} 11. ^Mike Cummings, [https://news.yale.edu/2017/01/18/authenticating-oldest-book-americas Authenticating the oldest book in the Americas.] January 18, 2017 - news.yale.edu 12. ^{{Cite web|url = http://www.yale.org.uk/Resources/Documents/Dean%20Mary%20Miller.pdf|title = Office of the Dean of the College|date = |accessdate = |website = |publisher =yale.org.uk |last = |first = }} 13. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.farmingdale.edu/news/news-2013/mary-miller-speaks-10-9-13.shtml|title=Dean Of Yale College To Lecture At Farmingdale|publisher=farmingdale.edu|accessdate=20 July 2016}} External links
