Professor Skeggs has an outstanding international reputation in the field of cultural and sociological studies and is particularly noted for her groundbreaking work in the fields of class, gender, sexuality and race. Her work is focused on the relationship between the most intimate and the structural through, for example, research that is concerned with how the intimate production of the self illustrates how far capitalist social relations have pervaded our lives.  Her most recent research has explored how new political formations are being shaped through contemporary ethics and specifically how identities based on class are being produced by the new ethical scenarios presented on television.  Professor Skeggs was appointed to a Chair in Sociology at the University of Manchester in 1999 and was Head of Department from 2001-2004.  In 2004, she was appointed Professor of Sociology at Goldsmiths College, University of London.  During 2007 she was the Kerstin Hesselgren Professor in Gender Studies at Stockholm University.
