Career
Dunbabin studied at the
While preparing a book on mosaics, Dunbabin began researching Roman dining spaces, looking particularly at how they were decorated. This led to Dunbabin publishing a second book with Cambridge University Press, exploring how art can be used to give insight into social history.[6] Dunbabin was a visiting fellow at All Souls College, Oxford between January and June 2001.[7] In 2004, Dunbabin was awarded a Killam Fellowship so she could dedicate time to researching the role of theatre in Roman society and Roman art. The aim was to produce a book and deliver a series of public lectures on the topic.[8] She retired from McMaster University in 2006.[9]
Dunbabin has been part of the Journal of Roman Archaeology's editorial board since 2009.[10][11]
