Data for the elastic and inelastic scattering of 60 MeV polarized ${}_{}{}^6{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$ by ${}_{}{}^{26}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Mg}$ have been analyzed using coupled-channels (CC) techniques. The diagonal and off-diagonal interaction potentials used in the analysis were derived from empirical α${+}^{26}$Mg and d${+}^{26}$Mg optical model potentials by means of the cluster-folding method. The effects of projectile excitation to the three low-lying T=0 resonant states, as well as to nonresonant continuum states ranging from 2.1 MeV to 11.5 MeV excitation energy relative to the ${}_{}{}^6{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$ ground state, have also been studied. A good description of the data has been achieved without renormalization of the interaction potentials.
