"Wells is an amazing place to teach as well as to learn. Faculty members expect much from their students, but students in turn demand much from their faculty. Small classes allow students to do intensive critical reading, engage in intellectually rigorous class discussion, and conduct intensive original research and writing.”

Professor Groth’s
interests lie in general U.S. history, African American history,
and New York State history. In addition, he performs research in
race, ethnicity, and immigration studies. For him, history is not
the rote memorization of facts and dates, but the critical interpretation
of evidence to compose a compelling narrative that gives meaning
to the human experience. According to Professor Groth, history is
vital to a sense of personal and collective identity. He believes
that we must attempt to interpret the past if we are to understand
where we are and where we are going. Last updated: 08/11/2006 |
