ARNOLD MODLIN

Research Fellow

Dr. Arnold Modlin, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Geography and the Director of International Studies, Service Learning and Civic Engagement at Norfolk State University. He is a cultural and historical geographer who researches the connections of memory, emotions and senses in making and reinforcing racial identities at museums and historic places in the U.S. South and the Caribbean. While seeing race as a social construct, Dr. Modlin sees racism as a reality with sharp teeth. He is currently focusing his scholarly and activist efforts on dissecting and challenging the ways in which racism is recreated and reinforced despite seeming advances in civil and personal rights.
