Paul's teaching and research interests span political psychology and comparative politics, with particular focus on democratic governance, the psychology of political division, and the role of emotion in political behaviour.
Paul's current research, teaching, and advocacy revolves around the psychology of democratic citizenship in light of 21st-century challenges to self-governance.
