Research

After growing up in a remote village in southern China, Professor Jing-Bao Nie was initially trained as a physician in Chinese medicine. He then studied sociology in Canada and the medical humanities and bioethics in the USA. His pioneering research on a range of bioethical issues in China and East Asia has resulted in not only original findings on those topics but also a distinctive theoretical and methodological approach called 'ethical transculturalism.' His current research explores Confucianism on aging and eldercare, and Confucian ethics for global biosafety and health security.

Among his over 150 peer-reviewed publications are the authored books Medical Ethics in China (Routledge) and Behind the Silence: Chinese Voices on Abortion (Rowman & Littlefield). He co-edited Japan's Wartime Medical Atrocities (Routledge) and Thematic Issues for Bioethics, Developing World Bioethics, and Kennedy Institute Ethics J. He contributed to such reference books as Cambridge World History of Medical Ethics (three chapters), Encyclopedia of Global Bioethics, Routledge Handbook of Feminist Bioethics, and Global Health: Ethical Challenges. His journal articles appeared in periodicals, including American J Bioethics, Cambridge Quarterly Healthcare Ethics, Nursing Ethics, J Clinical Ethics, Asian Bioethics Review, The Lancet, and Nature.

Professor Nie's research received grants from the Marsden Fund of the Royal Society of New Zealand (twice) and the Harvard China Fund. He has been an advisor and collaborator for one UK Wellcome Trust and two US National Institute of Health research projects.

Professor Nie has delivered nearly 100 keynote and other invited addresses at international conferences such as those organized by the International Association of Bioethics and the Australasian Association of Bioethics and Health Law, as well as universities in Asia, Australasia, Europe, and North America. His books have been positively reviewed by dozens of scholars in various countries and several academic disciplines as 'a landmark contribution' (The Lancet), 'truly pioneering' and 'no less than astounding' (China Review Intl), with 'relevance far beyond its specific subject' (China Journal), 'essential reading' (Asian Bioethics Review), and 'embodying a style of bioethics radically different from [the mainstream]' (American J Bioethics).

Professor Nie has been cited or featured in media outlets which include Nanfang Zhoumo (China), South China Morning Post (HK), Weekendvisen (Denmark), Artze Zeitung (Germany), Radio France, Stuff (NZ), NZ Herald, Sydney Morning Herald, Australian National Radio, The Guardian, Stat, CNN Health, Nature news, Science news, Foreign Policy, and The New York Times.

Additional details

Jing-Bao welcomes proposals for postgraduate studies, especially PhD, of prospective students from NZ, Asia-Pacific, and other parts of the world in his areas of expertise.

Jing-Bao’s hobbies include, in recent years, running weekly cross-country half-marathons in the awe-inspiring landscapes of Aotearoa NZ.
