Biography

María Rosario Hernández Borges (Santa Cruz de Tenerife, 1967) holds a degree in Philosophy and Educational Sciences and a PhD from the University of La Laguna.

She is a professor with a PhD and teaches both the Philosophy and Design degrees at the University of La Laguna. She began teaching in 1990. Since then, she has taught in various undergraduate programs (Philosophy, Fine Arts, Design, Restoration and Conservation of Cultural Assets) and master's degrees. Her priority lines of research are, on the one hand, naturalistic approaches to epistemology and the criticisms these approaches have received from a priori or transcendental philosophical positions and, on the other hand, the limits of rationality in cognitive tasks, in affective-emotional life, and in the explanation and prediction of action. In recent years, her interests have expanded to the field of design as a way of communicating and creating meaning. As a result of these lines of research, she has published articles and book chapters and has supervised several doctoral theses.

She has also held various management positions: internship coordinator, master's director, faculty secretary, and vice-dean of the faculty.
