SUMMARY:February:  Richard Fadok - "Politics and Prevention: Window Strikes in Rochester"
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 12\, 2026\n – Richard Fadok\n\n\nFatal collisions with glass windows claim the lives of a billion birds or more every year in the United States. This talk will cover the history\, biology\, and politics of collisions to understand why they occur and what is being done about them. It will also discuss a multi-university and community research initiative to study this conservation crisis in Rochester\, New York. \n\n\n\nBiography: \n\n\nRichard 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.\n\n\n\n\nLook for the Zoom link in your email a few days prior to the meeting. The Zoom Room will open at 6:45 PM.  Don’t wait until the last minute to sign on\, you might be left out!
