She has written extensively on issues related to disability—philosophy, desire, law, and technology. Her current research relates to studies in ableism, geodisability knowledges, body and mental enhancements, elective impairment, South Asian approaches to disability and the different workings of affirmative disability subjectivity.

She has an enduring interest in theologies of the body and biblical hermeneutics.
Her work has appeared in Disability & Society, M/C—Media and Culture, Disability Studies Quarterly, Australian Feminist Law Journal and Journal of Medical Humanities. Her first book, Contours of Ableism: The Production of Disability and Abledness, was published by Palgrave in October 2009.
Dr Campbell is on the International Advisory Board of the Socio-Legal Review, the International Review of Disability Studies, the Journal of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies and is the Australian Editor of the proposed journal Disability Studies: Aotearoa & Australia.
