He began his academic career at the University of Wales, Lampeter, and was Professor and Head of School at the University of Bristol before moving to the University of Exeter in 2005. Paul’s recent research has focussed on the provision of services for homeless people, and on the politics and ethics involved in campaigns for ethical consumption.
