Profile

Kua hinga te tōtara i Te Waonui-a-Tāne.

It is a sad and solemn occasion for us to have learned in the last few days of the death of Barry Smith, at Rotorua. To our delight, Barry had recently agreed to join AHRECS as a Consultant and added considerable gravity to our presence in New Zealand. We will miss him.

A fuller item of appreciation of his significant contributions to human research ethics appeared in the Research Ethics Monthly. Please also read this reflection on Barry’s work as an academic and musician.

BIOGRAPHY

Of Maori descent, Barry had a PhD in sociology and degrees in chemistry/mathematics and music. He worked in health analytics and health ethics with the Lakes District Health Board in Rotorua, New Zealand. Barry was associated with a number of Health Research Council of New Zealand (HRC) and Royal Society of New Zealand Marsden Fund supported projects in the areas of ethics, genomic research and smoking cessation. He was involved with a project with University of Auckland philosopher Tim Dare that examined the ethics of predictive analytics in social policy. His publications included a book with Martin Tolich entitled The Politicisation of Ethics Review in New Zealand (Dunmore Publishing, 2015), the multi-authored Te Ara Tika: Guidelines for Maori Research Ethics (HRC, 2010) and Te Mata Ira: Guidelines for Genomic Research with Maori (University of Waikato, 2016). Barry was a member and chair of HRC science assessing committees and sat on the National Heart Foundation research committee. He chaired the Ministry of Social Development Ethics Committee, the Lakes DHB Research and Ethics and Clinical Ethics Committees and was a chair of the HRC Ethics Committee. He was a member of the Advisory Committee on Assisted Reproductive Technology (ACART), the Auckland Regional Tissue Bank Governance Advisory Board and chaired the Royal Society of New Zealand Maori Reference Group that provided advice on indigenous matters to the Society’s project on gene editing. A frequently invited presenter at ethics conferences, he presented at the 2016 WHO Global Ethics Summit in Berlin and the Asia-Pacific Regional Ethics Meeting held in Seoul in October 2017. Barry also contributed to courses run by the Bioethics Centre at the University of Otago and was involved with Victoria University of Wellington’s postgraduate Diploma of Clinical Research. He contributed to a rewrite of New Zealand’s National Ethics Guidelines. Outside of ethics Barry performed on and taught classical guitar.
