Title: Millie Churcher
Righting epistemic wrongs in post-colonial Australia: Imagination, affect,  
and institutions.

This paper explores institutional interventions into the perpetuation of  
wrongful epistemic practices. In particular, it discusses the ability of  
institutions to constructively engage the imaginations and affects of  
institutional actors in order to meliorate epistemic agency, and to foster  
epistemic co-operation between members of diverse communities. I argue that  
institutions have the potential to mitigate epistemic wrongs in ways that  
extend beyond their capacity to exploit feelings of shame, hope, and fear  
through mechanisms of publicity, punishment, and reward. This paper draws  
on a recent example of a successful social justice initiative in Australia,  
the Maranguka Justice Reinvestment Project, to explore how institutions may  
help to cultivate sociable affects such as trust, concern, and esteem in  
order to support epistemic virtue and joint epistemic action across  
significant social and cultural divides.
