Lunch and Learn

Conducting Community Research and Connecting It To Clients

During this Lunch and Learn discussion, Heather Barrow will address questions from her 2021 webinar and offer deeper insights on the topic overall.

Lunch and Learn sessions are designed to give participants the opportunity to revisit previous sessions to refresh their knowledge, catch up on what they missed, and take a deeper dive into topics that are difficult to cover in just one 90-minute session. Participants will be asked to complete an assignment ahead of each session to establish a knowledge baseline. All assignments will be available on Perusall, a community learning platform where members of the group can respond to the materials and each other with comments and questions. Registrants will receive Perusall login information and instructions for accessing materials by the registration deadline.

Heather Barrow

Heather began her career over 26 years ago working with Bryan Stevenson at EJI while still a college student earning her degree in History at Alabama State University in Montgomery, Alabama.

Heather worked on many projects during her two stints at EJI including race and poverty, pardon and parole revocation, direct rehabilitation and restoration with clients, discrimination in jury selection, reform of death in prison sentences for children, along with investigation and mitigation in post-conviction capital cases.

She has been a self-employed mitigation expert in both capital trial and post-conviction cases in several states throughout the Southeast. She has worked as an Investigator & Mitigation Specialist in a post-conviction office in Tennessee, as Chief Investigator at a state post-conviction office in Florida, and at a Federal CHU in Florida. Recently, Heather worked with the Southern Poverty Law Center. She was fortunate enough to work on multiple matters including censorship in education and was the investigator in the lawsuit filed by multiple nonprofits challenging the State of Louisiana imprisoning children on the former death row at Angola. That lawsuit led to the removal of children from Angola prison.

Heather has worked on hundreds of capital cases in both trial and post-conviction. She is currently a Special Investigator and Mitigation Specialist with the Kansas Capital Habeas Unit.
