Kellond's research explores psychoanalysis as a critical discourse in the Humanities, interrogating its role in social and cultural change. Her 2022 monograph Donald Winnicott and the Politics of Care examines Winnicott's relevance to contemporary care crises. Current projects include EU-funded CAPONEU: The Cartography of the Political Novel (2023-2027). Her publications span topics such as authoritarianism, social reproduction, and the politics of mothering.
Kellond actively supervises PhD projects on intersections of psychoanalysis with Marxism, feminist theory, and care politics. She has presented internationally on themes like democratic crisis, speculative fiction, and political ontology. Her work engages with Freudian, Lacanian, object-relations, and Laplanchian approaches, integrating them with socialist-feminism and decolonial thought.
