ハーバード大学哲学科において、正義論、平等、現代倫理理論に関する講義を担当。著書『私たちがお互いに負うもの(What We Owe to Each Other)』は1998年にハーバード大学出版局から刊行され、政治理論に関する論文集『寛容の困難(The Difficulty of Tolerance)』は2003年にケンブリッジ大学出版局から出版された。
スキャンロンは、2009年のオックスフォード大学でのジョン・ロック講義において、「理由根本主義(Reasons Fundamentalism)」と呼ばれる立場を支持した[22]。この立場とは、「行動の理由についての還元不可能な規範的真実が存在するという命題」である[23]。スキャンロンはこの内容をさらに精緻化し、『Being Realistic about Reasons』という著書で発表した。
