Pinch was born in Lisnaskea, Northern Ireland on 1 January 1952.[3][4] He held a degree in physics from Imperial College London and a PhD in sociology from the University of Bath.
He taught sociology at the
Social Construction of Technology

Pinch was a significant contributor to the study of
sound culture, and his books include a major study of Robert Moog. His book Confronting Nature is widely considered the definitive sociological account of the history of the solar neutrino problem, and was mentioned by Raymond Davis in his 2002 Nobel Prize autobiography.[6]
