In Memoriam: Dina Bangdel, Art Historian and CAA Board Member
posted by CAA — Jul 26, 2017
We were very sad to learn of the early and sudden passing of CAA Board Member Dina Bangdel. Dina, who was a long-standing member of CAA, joined our Board of Directors in 2016. Prior to that, she was on CAA’s Nominating Committee and served as the Board liaison to the Education Committee. In addition, Dina was active in the Student and Emerging Professionals Committee (SEPC) and the Committee on Women in the Arts (CWA). She is survived by her husband, Dr. Bibhakar Shakya, and her children, Deven and Neal.
Dina was Director of the Art History Department at Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar. A more complete obituary can be found here.
In addition, here is a wonderful interview with her.
We will all miss her warm smile and thoughtful participation at CAA.
To send condolences to her family:
Dr. Bibhakar Shakya
