Hiram Maxim received his B.A. from Washington and Lee University, his M.A. from Middlebury College, and his Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin. He taught two years at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and then six years at Georgetown University before joining the Department of German Studies at Emory University in August 2007 as Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies. In addition, he has taught German at the high school level in Virginia and Istanbul, Turkey and studied at the Johannes-Gutenberg-Universität in Mainz and the Freie Universität in Berlin.

His research interests lie in the general area of instructed adult second language acquisition with specific interest in the relationship between second language reading and writing. He has also deeply committed to collegiate foreign language curriculum reform and the development of integrated programs of foreign language study that foster cultural inquiry at all levels of instruction while also attending systematically to language development.
