Dr Annie Herro is a casual lecturer at the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies. Her PhD thesis explored attitudes towards a civil society-led proposal to establish a standing UN peacekeeping service and considered ways to increase support for this idea. She has coordinated the “Human Rights, Peace and Justice” course and has co-coordinated “The UN and International Conflict Resolution” course, both at the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies. She also teaches a postgraduate course in the Department of Modern History, Politics and International Relations at Macquarie University called "Australia and the Asia-Pacific region".
Her research interests include the United Nations, the Responsibility to Protect doctrine, conflict prevention and peacekeeping operations.
