Esther Conrad

Esther C Conrad is an academic and researcher with a focus on environmental sustainability and community engagement. She currently serves as the Director of Community Engaged Learning for Environmental Sustainability at Stanford University's Haas Center for Public Service.5

Conrad has a strong academic background, holding a Bachelor of Sciences in Earth Systems from Stanford University, a Master of Philosophy in Development Studies from the University of Cambridge, and presumably a doctoral degree.6

At Stanford University, Conrad holds multiple roles:

1. Research Manager at the Bill Lane Center for the American West13
2. Social Science Research Scholar at The Bill Lane Center for the American West2
3. Lecturer in the Earth Systems Program1
4. Co-Lead of the Stanford Environmental Justice Working Group1

Her research interests appear to be centered around environmental governance, water management, and climate resilience. She has published several academic papers on topics such as groundwater governance in California, integrated water and flood risk management, and resilient governance of water regimes in variable climates.2

Conrad's work involves collaborating with faculty and community partners to design and implement academic courses related to environmental sustainability.4 This aligns with her role in community-engaged learning, where she likely facilitates connections between academic research and real-world applications in environmental sustainability.

Her involvement extends beyond Stanford, as she is also part of the Advisory Board for the Environmental Justice and the Common Good Initiative at Santa Clara University.1 This suggests her commitment to bridging academic research with community-based initiatives in environmental justice.
