Nancy Berlinger is a Senior Research Scholar at The Hastings Center for Bioethics. Her Bioethics for Aging Societies research portfolio explores ethical and social challenges arising from population aging, a demographic shift toward longer lives and smaller families. Its goal is to help researchers, professionals, and members of the public think together about common challenges facing aging societies, with attention to foundational questions: What does it mean to live a good life in later life? And how should we live together? Current projects explore cognition, family caregiving, health care decision-making, housing, and technology. A cross-cutting theme of this research is how cultural narratives convey ideas and values about aging and caregiving that shape individual experiences and societal investments. She has longstanding research interests in problems of safety and harm; ethics guidance for health care practitioners in end-of-life and crisis conditions, and immigrant health. She founded and directs The Hastings Center’s Sadler Scholars program for advanced doctoral students and early-career bioethics researchers in the US.
