He has taught at SUNY-Buffalo, SUNY-Stony Brook and the University of Bridgeport, and he twice served as a Fulbright-Hays Professor of History at the University of Malaya in Malaysia.

Dr. Lockard's many published books, articles, essays and reviews cover a wide spectrum of topics, including world and comparative history; Southeast Asian history, politics and society; Asian emigration and diasporas; the Vietnam War; and folk, rock, popular and world music.
