His research and works focus on applied ethics and political philosophy. Kershnar has written one hundred articles and book chapters on topics including abortion, adult–child sex, hell, most valuable player, pornography, punishment, sexual fantasies, slavery, and torture. He is the author of ten books, including ''Desert Collapses: Why No One Deserves Anything'' (2021), ''Total Collapse: The Case Against Morality and Responsibility (2018),'' and ''Abortion, Hell, and Shooting Abortion-Doctors: Does the Pro-Life Worldview Make Sense?'' (2017).

In 2022, Kershnar discussed his views and a book (published 2015) which question the immorality of "adult–child sex." His comments and the subsequent backlash led to his barring from the campus and a currently pending investigation. Provided by Wikipedia
