The literary imagination helps broaden our ethical horizon. Engaging that imagination through reading draws on politics and emotion, as exemplified in the pedagogical approaches of Martha Nussbaum and Megan Boler. Lauren Weber has noted that these practices can also become bound up in the demands of neoliberalism. I argue that neoliberalism encourages us to engage in a different form of ‘reading’: reading the text of the world as consumers. Ideas that threaten neoliberalism—such as empathy—are appropriated into its form of public pedagogy. However, these forms of ‘depoliticised’ politics can reveal the emptiness of neoliberal claims to be concerned with social justice. One such case is Pepsi’s ‘Live for Now’ campaign, which attempted to appropriate the imagery of Black Lives Matter and similar social movements. This chapter positions such thinned out readings of the world against forms of pedagogy that deal in affect, empathy, and uncanniness: practices that create room for thinking differently and ‘repoliticising’ education.

Purpose The study uses the data of listed companies in China from 2012 to 2020 to investigate the impact of top managers’ high-quality university educational backgrounds and their native places on Chinese enterprises’ participation in public good. Design/Approach/Methods A linear regression method was used. Findings Higher education plays an important role in the promotion of public good. From the perspective of behavior and intensity, high-quality higher education highlights a unique role in the depth and intensity of corporate philanthropy. There is regional heterogeneity among top managers in promoting enterprises’ participation in public good: Top managers born in Midwest China are more likely to promote enterprises’ participation in public good. Originality/Value This study empirically tested the theoretical results of past domain-specific research, focusing on the impact of top managers’ background (education and place of origin) on the engagement of listed companies in public good. It proposes a set of innovative and comprehensive indicators to measure companies’ engagement in public good, and explores the influence of managers’ higher education quality on the firm's engagement in economic and educational causes, as well as the level of such engagement.
