Abstract
Computing: Paradigm shifts, adoption, new digital professionals rising Dr Joanna Leng, School of Computing, University of Leeds, UK and Dr Phillip Brooker, School of Sociology, University of Liverpool, Emeritus and Prof Wes Sharrock, School of Sociology, University of Manchester, focus on computing: paradigm shifts, charting the adoption and the rise of new digital professions. The historical lineage of research software delivery models is visualised in Fig 1, showing that research software delivery in universities is now cyclic, breaking approximately every ten years. In recent cycles, the research software delivery model in universities has been systematically centralised and administratively unified, making the model similar to Hick’s model of pre-1960s computing labour where programming was gendered towards women as sub-clerical support work, as opposed to being foundational to academic teaching and research practice.
