She is currently an Associate Research Fellow in the History Department at the University of Exeter.

Research

Her current research interests centre on the relationship between post-dictatorial justice in different parts of the world, focusing for the most part on the cases of Eastern Europe and Latin America. Through examining the connections, entanglements, similarities and differences between these regions, she will explore the relationship between the global and the local in the practice of transnational justice. Dr Grosescu is also interested in the relationship between legal culture (and especially issues of human rights violations) and individual biographies of legal practitioners at moments of major political transformation.
