Glazebrook undertook her BA at the University of Alberta before completing her MA at Queen's University at Kingston and her PhD at the University at Buffalo. Glazebrook taught at Stanford University before joining Brock University in 2003.[4]
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."[4]
Glazebrook was the 2019 Visiting Speaker for the Western Tour (Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia) of the Classical Association of Canada.[1][5][6][7][8]
The Canadian Embassy in Athens invited Glazebrook to deliver three lectures on working women in ancient Athens in celebration of International Women's Day 2019.[4][9]
From 2018 to 2020 Glazebrook was the President of the Classical Association of Canada, and now serves as Past President (2020-2022).[10]
