Education
Monson earned a Bachelor of Music from New England Conservatory of Music and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she studied economics. She later earned an M.A. and Ph.D. in musicology from New York University.[1]
Reception
In February 2022, Monson was one of 38 Harvard faculty to sign a letter to the Harvard Crimson defending Professor John Comaroff, who had been found to have violated the university's sexual and professional conduct policies. The letter defended Comaroff as "an excellent colleague, advisor and committed university citizen" and expressed dismay over his being sanctioned by the university. [2] After students filed a lawsuit with detailed allegations of Comaroff's actions and the university's failure to respond, Monson was one of several signatories to say that she wished to retract her signature. [3]
