This article maps the major changes taking place in academic work within the broader context of the neoliberalisation of universities. Recognising the great variability in the form and pace of neoliberalisation across institutions and national contexts, the article identifies a set of features and indicators to aid in the comparative assessment of the extent and effect of neoliberal processes at different institutions. The authors use conceptual tools from labour process theory to highlight the ways that neoliberalisation has resulted in academic work that is fragmented, deskilled, intensified, and made subject to greater levels of surveillance, hierarchy, and precarity. In doing so, the authors also demonstrate the importance of combining political economy and Foucauldian approaches to neoliberalism, to highlight the way that external structural conditions and subjective processes combine to create new labour processes to which participants find themselves consenting and actively reproducing.

本文介绍了在大学新自由化的大背景下学术工作中发生的重大变化。认识到新自由主义的形式和步伐在不同机构和国家背景之间存在很大差异，因此，本文确定了一组特征和指标，以帮助对不同机构的新自由主义进程的程度和影响进行比较评估。作者使用劳动过程理论中的概念性工具来强调新自由化导致学术工作分散，僵化，激化并受到更高级别的监视，等级制和不稳定因素影响的方式。在此过程中，作者还证明了将政治经济学与福柯主义的新自由主义方法相结合的重要性，
