Whittney Barth, ’19, Discusses Her Career Path
CSLR Interview with Whittney Barth
On August 1st, the Center for the Study of Law and Religion welcomed our new executive director, Whittney Barth, to Emory's campus. In her new role, Barth will manage CSLR daily operations; recruit and lead staff, post-doctoral fellows, visiting scholars, and student fellows; create and support research projects; build new alliances across campus; and organize events, including celebration of the Center’s fortieth anniversary in the 2022-23 academic year.
Barth joins CSLR after nearly three years as a litigator with a nationally-recognized plaintiffs’ firm Sanford Heisler Sharp where she worked primarily on employment discrimination matters. She is a graduate of the University of Chicago Law School and served for nearly five years as the Assistant Director of the Pluralism Project at Harvard University, where she also received her Master of Divinity.
