I would also suggest some of the work on celebrity and reality tv, such as Biressi and Nunn's Tabloid Culture and no. 48 of genders.org on female celebrity analyses working class women in celebrity culture in both the US and the UK. (Biressi and Nunn also have a forthcoming book - Palgrave 2011 - on class in British culture)

There is also some very interesting work being done on the role of the media in stigmatising the places in which the working/underclass live. See for example recent issues of The Journal of Housing and The Built Environment. Permentier's work is particularly important in this regard.
All the best

Dear Liza,
I wasn't sure what dates you were looking for - i.e. what you are already aware of & what you mean by 'recent research'. Unfortunately there is not a great deal at all on this important issue. In fact, Sally Munt has (perhaps provocatively) argued:
"within the hierarchies of oppression, class has sunk to the bottom because it is not sexy enough for the intelligentsia (unlike feminism, 'race' studies, and lesbian and gay studies, all of which have attracted at times the intellectual eroticism of studying 'the other')" (Munt, 2000: 7)
The most recent publication, though rather light on theory & populist in tone, is Owen (2011). Others have also written about the figure of the 'chav' - Imogen Tyler, for example:
http://journal.media-culture.org.au/0610/09-tyler.php
I wrote a little about the representation of class in my 2007 book, and I co-edited an issue of Critical Discourse Studies on class & discourse that might be useful for you. I also include some references that I have used in the past, below this message. Perhaps some of these will be new to you.
I'd be very interested to know more about this project & the work of your student. Feel free to contact me off list, or let your student know I am interest.
best wishes
