My name is R. C. Waldun but just call me Robin.

I'm a full-time YouTuber, writer, wanderer and I love reading and sharing what I've learned from my academic journey in the humanities.

This project started when I dropped out of my engineering courses to study English literature. During which I became skeptical of the ways Universities and schools taught history, philosophy, and literature. This skepticism prompted me to conduct independent research and over the last 5 years, I shared what I've discovered on YouTube to encourage other students in my position.

The idea for starting a Skillshare account came about after an exchange with a student doing her M.A. thesis on Michel Foucault. She complained about a lack of direction, so I offered some insights on conducting academic research. A year later, a thank you note landed in my inbox, and she told me that she had graduated as a top student in her class.

This exchange showcased the importance of having a strong fundamental understanding of research basics, especially for fields that are difficult to pin down (the humanities). And now, I'm committed to condense what I've learned into classes to equip future students with adequate research skills and a healthier attitude when tackling disciplines in the humanities.
