David Sorensen

David Sorensen serves as a Lecturer in Philosophy at Rutgers University (New Brunswick), teaching courses including "Minds, Machines, and Persons" (01:730:329) and "Philosophy of Science" (01:730:425). He maintains concurrent teaching appointments at Drew University, Montclair State University, and Raritan Valley Community College, reflecting his multi-institutional academic engagement across central New Jersey.

His educational trajectory demonstrates progressive specialization:

• Associate's degree from Raritan Valley Community College (2011)
• Bachelor's in Philosophy from Rutgers University (2013)
• Master's in Neurophilosophy from Georgia State University (2016)

Sorensen's research integrates philosophical analysis with empirical neuroscience, focusing on consciousness in non-human animals and ethical implications of cognitive science. His work critically examines social epistemology frameworks while advancing animal ethics discourse through neurophilosophical lenses, particularly investigating mental state attribution across species boundaries and challenging anthropocentric ethical models.

Professional engagement spans multiple academic settings where he delivers specialized philosophy instruction, though formal advisory roles or research grants remain undocumented in available sources.
