He was convenor of Graduate Studies in History at the ANU between 2002 and 2006. He is a member of the College of

Since 2001 Paul has been joint program coordinator and a presenter at the annual ANU Summer Schools for teachers of
history, civics and law involving teachers from all over Australia in curriculum development and research led teaching. In 2007 he
headed the successful consortium bid for significant Commonwealth funding to run a Summer School for Teachers of
Australian History (See program).
He is Head of the HRC Biography Institute.
Before coming to Canberra Paul was involved in the management of training organisations, including Mature Action
SkillShare and Plenty Valley Skills Centre, and he worked as historical consultant for projects under the LEAP program and
