Congratulations to Allison Glazebrook, who received an Insight Grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada for her project titled, “The Cycle of Slavery and the Athenian Brothel.” We can’t wait to see where this new trajectory of research will lead!

“Today’s federal government investment is a testament to the depth and breadth of Brock University research and its impact locally and internationally,” says Chris Bittle, Member of Parliament for St. Catharines. “The wide array of topics being funded by these awards is impressive and will contribute much to the vibrancy of communities here in Niagara and worldwide.”

Check out some of Dr Glazebrook’s other recent papers and publications:

“Discourses of Desire in Ancient Greece and Rome” is out in the new Cambridge World History of Sexualities, Vol. II: Sexualities: Systems of Thought and Belief. Edited by Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks and Matthew Kuefler (Cambridge University Press, 2024) 87-113.

In July, she delivered a paper, “(Re)Housing Women’s Knowledge in the Attic Orators” in the panel What do Women Know? Gendered Knowledge and its Rhetorical Representations in Classical Athens at the Twenty-Fourth Biennial Conference of the International Society for the History of Rhetoric, in Vancouver BC.
