Work

Glazebrook's work focuses on Greek social history, working in particular on sexuality and gender. She is well known for her work on prostitutes in Athens and commented in 2019 that:

"In part, my work is a reaction to scholarship that idealizes the ancient hetaira, and attempts to look at how prostitution affected the lives of women across ancient Athenian society."
Glazebrook was the 2019 Visiting Speaker for the Western Tour (Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia) of the Classical Association of Canada.{{Cite web|title=History & Classics presents the 2019 Classical Association of Canada Western Tour Speaker|url=https://www.ualberta.ca/history-classics/news-and-events/events_and_news/2019/november/cac_western_tour_lecture_2019.html|last=Edmonton|first=Contact Information University of Alberta 2-28 Tory Building University of Alberta|website=www.ualberta.ca|access-date=2020-05-22}}{{Cite web|title="Life in an Ancient Athenian Brothel" - Dr. Allison Glazebrook (Brock University)|url=https://www.ulethbridge.ca/notice/events/life-ancient-athenian-brothel-dr-allison-glazebrook-brock-university#.Xz0g8uhKhPY|access-date=2020-08-19|website=www.ulethbridge.ca|language=en}}{{Cite web|title=Life in an Ancient Brothel {{!}} Classics {{!}} The University of Winnipeg|url=https://www.uwinnipeg.ca/classics/events/2019/10/life-in-an-ancient-brothel.html|access-date=2020-08-19|website=www.uwinnipeg.ca}}{{Cite web|title=CAC Western Tour – "Locating Alce: Place and Space in Isaeus 6" (Dr.Allison Glazebrook, Brock University) {{!}} CNERS|url=https://cnrs.ubc.ca/cnrs-events/event/cac-western-tour-locating-alce-place-and-space-in-isaeus-6-dr-allison-glazebrook-brock-university/|access-date=2020-08-19|website=cnrs.ubc.ca}}
