Professor Chang joined the Whittier Law School faculty after ten years of practice as a Staff Attorney at the Asian Pacific American Legal Center, a member of the Asian American Center for Advancing Justice, where he specialized in domestic violence, immigration, and family law. He teaches Contracts Law, Immigration Law, and Comparative Law and Sexuality.

Professor Chang’s scholarship applies Critical Race Studies analyses to immigration, family, and Constitutional law to argue that contemporary Asian American identity has coalesced around imagined legal idealizations of citizenship, sexuality, and family.
