DESCRIPTION:You can wrong people through how you treat them. You can wrong
  people through how you think about them. But can you wrong people through
  how you perceive them? I argue that you can\, and that such perceptual wr
 onging underwrites pervasive social injustices. This proposal relies on sp
 ecific claims about perception and about wrongdoing. Regarding perception\
 , I argue that perceptual content is rich and includes features such as sa
 lience\, affordances and high-level kinds. Regarding wrongdoing\, I argue 
 that even though perceptual processes are relatively automatic\, a subject
  can nevertheless be responsible for how they perceive the world. I then r
 eflect on what this might mean for our understanding of structural injusti
 ce.
