Joshua Katcher and Tracey Katof are researching the fashion industry as a compelling case-study for the macroeconomic phenomenon of circumfauna, a term Joshua coined. They analyse the social, historical, and environmental influences on the large-scale shift towards intentionally reframing supply chains without animals.
Joshua Katcher is a fashion designer, author and educator who has taught at Parsons and has lectured at universities internationally and lobbied in the United States for sustainable and ethical fashion. He’s the author of Fashion Animals, the creator of the men's vegan lifestyle website, The Discerning Brute and founder of the vegan, ethically-made menswear fashion brand, Brave GentleMan. He also co-founded the vegan cheese company RIND.
Tracey Katof is a financial analyst and an economics writer and educator. She received her master's in humane education from Valparaiso University and the Institute for Humane Education and later this year will receive a master's of global political economy and finance from the New School for Social Research.
