SUMMARY:Repair Electronics Faire Keynote Presentation: Dr. Edward Jones-Imhotep\, The Broken Machine
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nPlease join us for the Repair Electronics Faire 
 Keynote Presentation\, delivered by Dr. Edward Jones-Imhotep\, at 2:45 PM 
 on April 10th\, 2026 in the Library's First Floor Event Space.\n\nEdward 
 Jones-Imhotep is an award-winning historian of science and technology. He 
 received his PhD in History of Science from Harvard University and is 
 Director of the University of Toronto’s Institute for the History and 
 Philosophy of Science and Technology (IHPST). He is co-editor (with Rebecca 
 Slayton and Wiebe Bijker) of MIT Press’s Inside Technology series and a 
 co-founder of Toronto’s TechnoScience Salon\, a public forum for 
 humanities-based discussions about science and technology. From 2016-2017\, 
 he was the Northrop Frye Fellow at the University of Toronto and is 
 currently a Senior Fellow of Massey College. He has held visiting positions 
 at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (Paris) and currently 
 holds an ongoing visiting professorship at the University of Paris 
 (Panthéon-Assas). His research has been supported by grants from the 
 Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada\, the Alfred P. 
 Sloan Foundation\, the National Science Foundation\, the European Science 
 Foundation\, the Mellon Foundation\, the Jackman Humanities Institute\, and 
 the Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst (DAAD). During the 2025-2026 
 academic year\, he is a Member of the Institute for Advanced Study in 
 Princeton.\n\nJones-Imhotep’s research focuses on the historical 
 intersections of science\, technology\, and modern culture. He is 
 particularly interested in the historical “behaviors” of technologies 
 — including malfunctions\, breakdowns\, and failures — and in the place 
 of those behaviors in the culture\, politics\, and economics of modern 
 societies. His first book\, The Unreliable Nation: Hostile Nature and 
 Technological Failure in the Cold War (MIT Press)\, won the 2018 Sidney 
 Edelstein Prize for best scholarly work in the history of technology. In 
 2017\, he received the Abbott Payson Usher Prize from the Society for the 
 History of Technology for his article\, “Malleability and Machines: Glenn 
 Gould and the Technological Self.” His new book — The Broken Machine: 
 Histories of Technology\, Social Order\, and the Self (MIT Press)— 
 investigates how people from the late-18th to the mid-20th centuries saw 
 machine failures as a problem of the self: a problem of the kinds of people 
 that failing machines created\, or threatened\, or presupposed. A new 
 long-term research project — The Black Androids: History and the 
 Technological Underground — explores black technological experience in 
 New York from 1830 to 1930 through the history of the black androids\, 
 automata in the form of black humans.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n
