Increasingly, the availability of entrepreneurship education is
becoming a factor in college choice as fine arts students demand
training that helps them create an arts-based career after
graduation. For too long, the arts academy has ignored the
long-term career outcomes of its graduates and has only recently
begun to meaningfully address how students can earn a living as
working artists and arts entrepreneurs. Written to address this
challenge, Disciplining the Arts explores the policy, programming,
and curricular issues in the emerging field of arts
entrepreneurship. By articulating the need, purpose and outcomes
for arts entrepreneurship education, listening to graduates and
identifying models, this essay collection begins an important
conversation on preparing students for arts self-employment.

Synthetic detergents rapidly replaced soap for most domestic
cleaning purposes after World War II. Concurrently, great billows
of foam began passing undegraded through sewage treatment plants
into receiving waters, which were often sources for domestic water
supplies. The detergent industry quickly learned that many
surface-active agents--the active ingredients of synthetic
detergents and the producers of foam--were not readily
biodegradable. The most popular surface-active agent was alkyl
benzene sulfonate (ABS). Industrialized societies had developed
satisfactory sewage processes to treat domestic wastes, but even
the most advanced treatment facilities proved incapable of
degrading ABS. Biodegradable examines the development of synthetic
detergents and the unanticipated pollution of surface waters and
groundwaters by this new technology, as well as the social,
political, and industrial responses that resulted in correction of
the problem. Public and governmental pressure in the United States,
the United Kingdom, and the Federal Republic of Germany led to the
international detergent industry's finding a biodegradable
substitute for ABS, namely, linear alkyl sulfonate (LAS). Its use
from the mid-1960s solved the foaming pollution problem. The three
countries responded to the problem very differently. West Germany
almost immediately legislated that only those detergents that were
more than eighty percent biodegradable could be sold. The U.S.
government allowed the detergent industry to seek a solution while
the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare monitored the
industry's progress. In the U.K. the government created committees
and required industry to cooperate with them to find a solution.
Biodegradable not only examines problems resulting from a new
technology but also compares and contrasts different societies'
methods of dealing with these problems.
