Stephen Brockmann is a Professor of German at Carnegie Mellon University's Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences with courtesy appointments in the Departments of English and History. He joined the Carnegie Mellon faculty in August 1993 and has taught across the German language curriculum, specializing in third- and fourth-year courses while also teaching Elementary German.

His academic work bridges disciplines through courses like History of German Film and Nazi and Resistance Culture, which are cross-listed with History and English departments. Dr. Brockmann serves as primary advisor for German majors and values Carnegie Mellon's interdisciplinary environment, particularly the relationship between Humanities and Social Sciences and the College of Fine Arts.

He received his education from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1989. Though listed as Affiliated Faculty in the History Department (with department membership since 2020), his primary academic home resides within German studies. His career reflects deep commitment to language education integrated with cultural and historical analysis across disciplinary boundaries.
