question eleven/take one

It may well be the case that I can address this question with one take:

Question eleven: Who influenced your work the most?

The matter of “who most influenced” is actually a matter of what-ness where the “what” is comprised, in part, of many, many historically- and geographically-distributed “whos.” Short answer on the “most influenced” question: The institutions I have worked at and the students with whom I have worked.
