Robert Catalin

I’m a passionate educator and researcher, currently in the final stages of my PhD at the University of Aberdeen, after earning my Master’s in Religious Studies at Gävle University. Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of teaching religious studies at Aberdeen, where I strive to create an engaging and supportive classroom environment that encourages critical thinking and open-minded dialogue. My research has been presented at academic conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals, reflecting my commitment to contributing meaningfully to the field. Beyond my academic focus in religious studies, I have a deep personal interest in psychoanalysis, which often informs my broader understanding of culture, spirituality, and the human experience. Additionally, I speak three languages (English, French, and Romanian). Above all, I believe in teaching as a collaborative journey—one that empowers students to explore ideas, challenge assumptions, and grow both intellectually and personally
