His monograph, (2019), was published in the Studies in Hispanic and Lusophone Cultures Series at Legenda (Cambridge, UK), an imprint of the Modern Humanities Research Association.

Paul also coordinates the digital history project, launched by Professors K G Valente and Sarah Keen in 2019 to supplement IJʿ's bicentennial observations. Comprising the QAC digital timeline and oral history recordings with alumni, faculty, and staff, the project includes student work from several iterations of LGBT 220: An Exploration into LGBTQ Studies as well as contributions from a number of student research assistants.
