Han har skrevet flere bøker og artikler om temaer som folkemord, menneskerettigheter og antisemittisme. Hans bok Law Against Genocide: Cosmopolitan Trials (2003) regnes som et viktig bidrag til forståelsen av internasjonal rett og folkemord, og ble tildelt Philip Abrams Memorial Prize for beste debutbok innen sosiologi. I denne boken analyserer han blant annet den britiske rettssaken mot Anthony Sawoniuk for Holocaust-relaterte forbrytelser begått i Hviterussland i 1942.

Hirsh har også vært aktiv i motstanden mot akademiske boikottforslag mot Israel, og er en ledende kritiker av antisemittisme på venstresiden i britisk politikk.
