Abstract
en This commentary advances the central contention that neoliberal governmentality
has caused a systematic responsibilization of academics which has in turn caused
academic tribalism to deepen. By neoliberal governmentality I mean the regulation of
mind and soul of the academics to orient them towards entrepreneurial forms of thinking.
On the other hand, my understanding of responsibilization corresponds to the
definition offered by Davies (2003) who asserts that it is the process by which Schools
and universities are reconfigured to produce the highly individualized subjects who
become entrepreneurial actors across all dimensions of their lives. In this paper, the
manifest forms and effects of neoliberal governmentality are discussed. The ways in
which neoliberal governmentality may deepen academic tribalism are also
illuminated. Finally, an opinion is offered on the role of neoliberal governmentality
in deepening academic tribalism in the Zambian academy.
