Prof Greta Bosch has been at Exeter University since 2002. Greta is an Aspire Mentor.
Greta's research interests lie in International Human Rights Law, specifically Equality, non-discrimination and affirmative action. She has published on human rights and racial equality with special reference to South Africa, as well as interdisciplinary approaches to legal education. Most recently Greta and her team published a report with recommendations, follwoing a two-year project funded by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) to look at what causes disparate attainment for ethnic groups in legal professional assessments. Following this, the SRA has engaged with the recommendations, planning actions and convening regular differential outcomes fora with stakeholders, on the basis of these recommendations.
In 2025 Greta, with Dr Louise Loder (Principal Investigtor), were awareded a grant by the Association of Law Teachers for their Great Law Teacher Project. The project aims to address the gap in the provision of quality, meaningful professional development and ad hoc training opportunities for law teachers keen to explore new pedagogical approaches and infuse their teaching with creativity, technology, student perspectives and practitioner expertise.
Building on Schwarz et al’s research published in ‘What The Best Law Teachers Do’, this project will collate and study the practices of some of the UK’s many great law teachers; identify gaps in current training / professional development opportunities for UK law teachers at all career stages; and explore the feasibility of a peer-driven learning platform to make training available at scale and at no cost to UK law teachers.
Greta has convened the interdisciplinary module Law3169 Equality and Diversity at Work, and taught on Law2103 EU Law. Currently, Greta is convening Law2095 Equality and Diversity and teaches on Legal Foundations and Public International Law.
In 2018 Greta received the National Teaching Fellowship Award, one of the most prestigious national awards for higher education teaching, for individuals who have made an outstanding impact on student outcomes and the teaching profession. And in 2019 Greta was awarded a Principal Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy for her sustained record of impact at a strategic level in relation to teaching and learning, and her wider commitment to academic practice.
