The Workplace Harassment Research Project is the brainchild of Dr. Elizabeth Quinlan. She is a professor in Sociology in the College of Arts and Science - University of Saskatchewan who has long believed in the power of the arts to create social change. This time, she put theatre artists with Mixed Company Theatre together with members of CUPE 5430 and SEIU-West working on the front-lines of Saskatchewan's health care system. Her goal? To see how, together, they might explore the problem of workplace harassment. The result is "Healthcare: CODE BLUE" - a series of interactive theatre presentations available to all front-line health care workers in Saskatchewan from Nov. 30 to Dec. 6.
