Tamara Hervey studied at the Universities of Glasgow and Sheffield, before taking up her first appointment as Jean Monnet Lecturer at the University of Durham in 1992. In 1995 she took up a lectureship at the University of Manchester, and in 1998 came to Nottingham as Reader in Law. She became Professor of Law at the University of Nottingham in 2000. Professor Hervey's interests are in the law of the European Union, in particular its social and constitutional dimensions. She is author of European Social Law and Policy (1998) and co-author (with Jean McHale) of Health Law and the European Union (2004). She is co-editor (with Jeff Kenner) of Economic and Social Rights under the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (2003) and (with Professor David O'Keeffe) of Sex Equality Law in the European Union (1996). She has written on the EU's contribution to sex and race equality in its Member States. In 2000-01, she held a Leverhulme Fellowship and in 2002-03 an AHRB Research Leave Scheme award, for research on the emerging health law and policy of the European Union. She is currently working on the implications of EU law for health law in a number of fields, including stem cell research, the "right to health", and the impact of enlargement.
