Description
The Maxine Greene Institute promotes the work of Dr. Maxine Greene, a pioneering American educational philosopher, author and social activist who is best known for her pedagogical approach to aesthetic education and the application of social imagination (including the social, ethical, political and artistic forms of imagination). The Institute provides opportunities for dialogue, reflection, and collaboration in diverse communities, among participants focused on works of art as possibilities toward human growth, especially educators, teaching artists, scholars, students and those interested in related philosophies and practices. The Institute has established an archive of Maxine Greene’s writing, documented lectures, and public response in order to disseminate the aesthetic education practices, research, and experiences inspired by Maxine Greene. It seeks to form and strengthen alliances among arts organizations, schools, universities, and other cultural organizations, as well as individual educators, teaching artists and scholars from other fields who are engaged in aesthetic education, inquiry, and developing the imagination, especially in the social sphere.
