A native of Karlsruhe, Germany, Prof. Hans-Peter Söder is Resident Director of the Junior Year in Munich and Adjunct Associate Professor within the Department of Classical and Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures at Wayne State University.

Prof. Söder studied at St. John's College in Maryland before receiving his M.A. in German Studies and Ph.D. in German Intellectual History from Cornell University. As a graduate student he pursued research at the University of Oslo, the Universität Bielefeld, and the University of Tel Aviv; he also served as Director of Cornell's International Language House.
