In this book, Millicent Churcher engages with Australasian thinkers, bringing them into dialogue with social epistemology and critical race theory. This book also performs an important theoretical role of bringing into contact recent works on social imagination with their historical forebear, Adam Smith. -- Joanne Faulkner, ARC Future Fellow in Cultural Studies, Macquarie University This timely book is a strong contribution to recent and ongoing discussions in political philosophy concerning the role of emotions and the imagination in issues of justice (including communicative and epistemic justice), recognition, social peace, identity/difference and equality. -- Jose Medina, Walter Dill Scott Professor of Philosophy, Northwestern University This distinctive intervention features studies on the continuing oppression of First Nations in Australia, and a unique interpretation of Smithian virtues. -- Jeremy C A Smith, Associate Professor of Sociology, Federation University Australia

Millicent’s latest research focuses on how institutions may constructively engage the imaginations and affects of social agents to facilitate ethical and political transformation.
