Pinch, Trevor
Impact of Science on Society, v40 n3 p219-25 1990
The emergence and impact of the sociology of scientific knowledge and its main research sites, tools, and debates are described. Weak and strong agendas for the sociology of science are identified, based upon how far sociologists wish to treat knowledge itself as a social product. (KR)
