Fields for Innovative Future Research in History of Science – A Historian of Technology's Perspective . The observations at hand present a historian of technology's perspective and sketch three fields for innovative future research: (past) ‘futures’ and future scenarios in themselves; the challenges as imposed by recent developments in science, technology, and society (e.g. digitization, climate change); and the twisting and flipping of established perspectives (e.g. by focusing on ‘failed’ or ‘old’ science and technology and their declension). Moreover, historians of science, technology, and medicine should participate in emerging transdisciplinary fields such as Environmental Humanities.
