Alice Sullivan is a British sociologist and Professor of Sociology at University College London.[4][5][6]
Career
[edit | edit source]Sullivan co-edited Sex and Gender: A Contemporary Reader with Selina Todd in 2023.[7] She was featured in the 2025 John Maddox Prize shortlist[8][9] and is a fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences.[10]
Sullivan has written that the conflation of gender and sex in the 2021 United Kingdom census was a harmful product of what she describes as an "explicitly anti-scientific" "postmodernist project".[11][6] She was commissioned by Conservative politician Michelle Donelan to publish a study that became known as the Sullivan Review, which investigated the ways in which sex is catalogued in public research. The study was published by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology in 2025,[9][5] but has been both criticised and praised by some due to her relationship with the gender critical group Sex Matters.[12]
