Biography
Dr. Renato (Rainier) Liboro purposefully chose to pursue and obtain his Doctor of Philosophy degree in Community Psychology because it is the one sub-discipline in Psychology that distinctly espouses the principles, traditions, and practices of research collaboration, diversity, inclusion, equity, social justice, community engagement, civic participation, stakeholder partnership, and capacity-building. As a community-based researcher and scholar who openly identifies as a person of color, a sexual minority, an immigrant, and an older adult, Dr. Liboro recognizes all too well the significance and inherent value of having intersecting identities, diverse personal contexts, and lived experiences recognized and intentionally incorporated in his teaching, service, mentorship, and research.
Dr. Liboro also obtained a Doctor of Medicine degree in the Philippines (his country of origin), and brings to his teaching and research at UNLV medical knowledge, clinical expertise, and work experiences from his years of practice as a Filipino physician and surgeon, and a Canadian clinical and community-engaged researcher.
