Tiina C Rosenqvist is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Dartmouth Society of Fellows with an affiliation with the Department of Philosophy. She completed her PhD in philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania in 2023. Her current research focuses on empirically guided philosophy of perception, but her interests span a wide range of topics related to how humans and other animals perceive, think about, and interact with their environments. She likes to think about color and pain, about the connections between intellectual traditions, about pain reports and credibility deficits, and about how we should approach metaphysical and epistemological questions relating to cognition and perception
