Dr. Allison Glazebrook (Brock University) will present a lecture entitled:

“Life in an Ancient Athenian Brothel”

This talk will be an exploration of the space of the ancient brothel, its management, the workers, and their customers, as well as business practices using literary, visual, and archaeological evidence. Dr. Glazebrook is Professor of Classics at Brock University. Her research centers on women, gender, and sexuality in ancient Greece, with a special focus on prostitution. She is co-editor of Greek Prostitutes in the Ancient Mediterranean, 800 BCE- 200 CE (U Wisconsin Press, 2011) and Houses of Ill Repute: The Archaeology of Brothels, Houses, and Taverns in the Greek World (Penn Press, 2016).
