Richard Fadok
Richard Fadok is an assistant professor of anthropology at the Rochester Institute of Technology. A multispecies ethnographer and anthropologist of design, his research asks how the built environment shapes ordinary relations of violence, care, and justice between humans and other animals. He is currently working on a multi-sited ethnography about the environmental politics of bird-window collisions and bird-safe design in the United States. Alongside his anthropological research, he is the founder and director of Smash the Crash, a university and community initiative to end bird-window collisions in Rochester, New York.
