  • Prof. Glazebrook inducted as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada

    Scholars in the spotlight

    Dr Glazebrook was one of four Brock University professors inducted as Fellows of the Royal Society of Canada (RSC) for their significant research contributions on Friday, Nov. 14 at the RSC Celebration of Excellence and Engagement in Montreal. Professor of Educational Studies Lissa Paul (left) became a Fellow in 2023, while Professor of Educational Studies Fiona Blaikie, Professor of Classics and Archaeology Allison Glazebrook and Professor of Economics Robert Dimand were elected as Fellows this year, marking the first time three Brock researchers received the distinction in the same year!

    At the induction ceremony, Dr Glazebrook signed the official registry of Fellows, a tradition going back to 1882, and received a certificate and a pin. She was also invited along with four other new Fellows of my Academy to give a short talk during the four-day event on her current research project, “The Cycle of Slavery in the Athenian Brothel,” for the annual meeting of the Academy of Arts and Humanities, RSC.

    The Department extends its warmest congratulations to Dr Glazebrook for this extraordinary achievement.

  • Classics and Archaeology at Fall Preview Day

    The Department of Classics and Archaeology was on display at the Experience Humanities Showcase on Fall Preview Day, where more than 70 people came to Global Commons to learn about the experiential aspects of our program from Dawson Magis, Derek Tam, Andrea Szpika, Emma Consoli, Wesley Prankard, and Lyndsay Turner. Meanwhile, Katie Mazurkiewicz and Lydia Scheunemann joined Dr Carter and Dr Brundrett to share the excitement of the Department with all who visited the Fair in the gymnasium. We’re so grateful to everyone for sharing their enthusiasm and excitement about the field; this is what the Department has always been about!
