Wiebe E. Bijker is Professor at Maastricht University and the author of Of Bicycles, Bakelites, and Bulbs: Toward a Theory of Sociotechnical Change (MIT Press) and other books. Thomas P. Hughes is Professor of the History and Sociology of Science at the University of Pennsylvania. Trevor Pinch is Goldwin Smith Professor of Science and Technology Studies at Cornell University an...(展開全部) Wiebe E. Bijker is Professor at Maastricht University
