As old notions of manners and order are rapidly disappearing, how do we define 'reasonable' behaviour? Is it OK to recline your seat on an aeroplane? To breastfeed in public? What's the right way to defend your neighbourhood? To protest against injustice and oppression? 

In On  Being Unreasonable, Kristy Sedgman examines how 'common-sense' ideas about 'correct' behaviour have baked unfairness and discrimination into our social norms - and argues that sometimes we need to act unreasonably in order to bring about positive change.
