This third volume in the series 'Higher Education for Sustainability' provides a selection of international contributions based on some of the most engaging and stimulating papers presented at the 'sustainability stream' of the 2007 conference of the Research Network for the Sociology of the Arts at the ESA (European Sociological Association), an international conference held from March 27th to April 1st 2007 in Lüneburg, Germany, under the title: 'New Frontiers in Arts Sociology: Creativity, Support and Sustainability'.

Following up on the clearly international character of the Lüneburg conference with participants coming from the five continents, this volume offers insights from researchers, artists and activists in Europe, North and Central America, Africa and Asia. This volume, edited by two organizers of the conference, Sacha Kagan (coordinator of the sustainability stream) and Volker Kirchberg (Chairperson of the ESA Arts Research Network from 2005 to 2007), focuses on ecological sustainability as a new frontier for the arts and cultures.

The volume sets itself the ambition to foster the development of 'arts, cultures and sustainability' as a new, inter- and trans-disciplinary research field.
