This chapter considers the ways in which social practice art is being taught in post-secondary education with an emphasis on ethical considerations. Issues of community engagement fatigue will also be explored. In Vancouver, one of the communities that suffers from this type of fatigue is the Downtown Eastside (DTES). It is an area that has historically experienced a plethora of pilot projects, research studies, community surveys, outreach centres, and numerous other short-term engagement efforts that, while may have been well intentioned, have left its local citizenry weary.
