Of course, charting origins and tracing the early histories of scientific and technical professions is an enduring tradition within STS-informed studies. Examples include landmark works such as the 1960s research on the origins of psychology by Joseph Ben-David and Randall Collins or, to offer more recent examples, Nathan Ensmenger's work on the cultural politics of early computer experts and Katie Shilton's on Internet architecture engineering teams. In this sense, for those working at the intersection of history and STS to concern themselves with the origins of a scientific field, and with the early stages of a scientific profession, is hardly groundbreaking.}, number={127}, journal={RADICAL HISTORY REVIEW}, author={Beaton, Brian and Acker, Amelia and Di Monte, Lauren and Setlur, Shivrang and Sutherland, Tonia and Tracy, Sarah E.}, year={2017}, month={Jan}, pages={133–148} }
