Biography
Paul’s research is on visa stories and the poetics of migration as he seeks to extend the notion of “narrative” beyond traditional prose or storytelling to include multimodal approaches and different genres, such as poetry, to explore the migration experiences of African immigrants in Canada. Prior to and since joining Queen’s University, Paul has maintained a vibrant and robust academic agenda, exploring the subject of education and learning through creative and critical, and transformative and transgressive lenses. He uses poetic pedagogy and other arts-based approaches to co-create knowledge and facilitate learning in the classroom and other spaces. Paul taught in the Department of Adult Education and Lifelong Learning, Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria before moving to Canada.
