Her scholarship explores how women intellectuals in New England engaged in historical reclamation through literary and cultural practices. In her acclaimed book Archives of Desire, she argues that regionalism was a woman-led effort to rewrite national and regional history by centering unmarried women and their desires, blending fiction, history, material culture, and heritage preservation.
Lockwood's work intersects with feminist theory, queer historiography, and performance studies, revealing how figures like Sarah Orne Jewett and Charlotte Perkins Gilman used regionalism as a form of intellectual dissent. Her interdisciplinary approach draws from literary studies, gender studies, and material culture analysis.
The trend in her scholarship emphasizes the political and affective dimensions of historical memory, particularly how marginalized women created alternative narratives through cultural production.
