Abstract
This article explores some implications of new managerial 'reforms' for academic culture. More specifically, it explores the effect of neoliberal academic structure on the life of academic scholars by drawing on the working hypothesis that neoliberal practices resemble religious Christian rituals and evoke feelings of guilt and indebtedness. The author cites and analyzes excerpts from academics' narratives found in feminist literature in order to demonstrate how these new 'moral ethics' have been internalized by feminist academics and with what sort of consequences. She concludes by reflecting on the current state of affairs in universities and by posing questions for further investigation as a collective way of resistance.
