Abstract
The International Society Conference of Health Psychology (ISCHP) which was held at Grahamstown from the 12 to 15 July 2015 at Rhodes University was the first international academic conference that I attended. I was delighted when they informed me that my abstract was accepted to be presented at an international conference pending resubmission and that they had granted me the bursary that was to cover the conference fee, workshop fee, transport and accommodation during the conference. I resubmitted the abstract as requested and awaited for the day to arrive. The thought of traveling to a place I had never been to also was exciting. The conference began at the final day of the national Arts festival, which I heard a lot about and hoped I could arrive in time and have a glimpse of it. Unfortunately this did not transpire as I had to attend a workshop on neoliberalism upon my arrival. I had the luxury of meeting people with great minds and could critically tackle neoliberalism and its effects on individuals in academia.
