Paul joined the Australian Catholic University in July 2026 after a period of lecturing at the University of Glasgow.

Paul was a member of a small core team which brought to completion the Religious Education Directory for England and Wales, a mandated programme for over two thousand Catholic primary and secondary schools. His academic background is interdisciplinary, covering Philosophy, Theology, and Education. His doctorate explored the philosophical outlook of John Henry Newman, but which included a detailed diversion into medieval theology (both in the Christian scholastic and Islamic traditions).
