Chemistry has often been depicted as the „central science“, standing between biology and physics. At the same time, it is as much a technology as a science, leading to innovations but also an array of health and environmental problems.

The seminar introduces new approaches in the historiography of modern chemistry, and related sciences, yielding a new framework for how to study its history.
