Rebecca Luce-Kapler observes here that one of the most influential authors in her own professional path is Maxine Greene.Greene's insistence that imagination is a force that can be ignited by the arts, releasing an ethical and life-affirming power, is a belief that underlies the commitment this author brings to her own teaching and research. In this article, she revisits the paths of Greene's work and influences that have particularly impacted her own moments in what she refers to as "the vast territory of Greene's thinking." By pausing to focus on those instances, Luce-Kapler aims to honor the depth and enduring impact of Greene's legacy in this article.
