began teaching at Truman in Fall 2006, focusing on courses in methods of English instruction and Romantic/Victorian literature.

Paul’s interests include “global educational systems and their relationships to pedagogical structures as well as psycho-social dynamics.” He is “also interested in the relationship between psychoanalytic discourse and postmodernism in English and French literature of the nineteenth century.”

Paul says: “I grew up in Saint Louis, married to Michele and have one daughter Alexandria.  Give me a good book and a blizzard and I’m happy.  I also enjoy chess and cricket.”
