RICHARD FADOK

I am an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the Rochester Institute of Technology. My research and teaching focus on design and human-environment relations.

I hold a PhD in History, Anthropology, and Science, Technology, and Society from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I was previously a postdoctoral fellow in the Humanities Center at the University of Rochester and in the Humanities Center and the Department of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania.

I am also an advocate for animals. In 2024, I founded Smash the Crash, a community initiative to study and prevent bird-window collisions in Rochester, New York.
