Dr. Allison McCulloch (she/her) is a Professor of Political Science at Brandon University. Her research considers the politics of deeply divided, post-conflict societies, with a specific interest in the relationship between peacemaking, power-sharing and constitution-writing. Her work explores how power-sharing arrangements can be made more inclusive of identities beyond the ethnonational divide
Dr. McCulloch will be speaking on her upcoming book Gender, Peace, and Power-Sharing (University of Toronto Press, June 2026), coauthored with Siobhan Byrne (University of Alberta). The book explores how power-sharing and the women, peace, and security agenda intersect in peacebuilding practices. It offers a feminist “alternative telling” that captures the tensions and potential of these frameworks
