Career
Chang started her teaching career during her time as a graduate student in the Department of Sociology at the University of Iowa where she taught introduction courses in sociology as well as gender studies and research methods. After finishing her studies at the University of Iowa in 1998, she continued her career at the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s School of Business, as part of the Center for Labor Education and Research. During her time at the University of Alabama she taught undergraduate courses in Organization Behavior, as well as continuing education workshops that were directed toward working professionals.

Current Research
A large portion of her current research involves mindfulness in higher education and work. She studies this by looking at the techniques of inner engineering, which “is a process of finding the required balance between the challenges of your day-to-day life and inner longing for well-being and peace through yoga or meditation practices.”. She tries to understand the positive impacts of mindfulness by conducting small studies. One study done, was on the benefit’s of mindfulness for the employees of a Fortune 500 company where the results showed that the use of inner engineering training significantly increased the energy, joy, and work engagement of the small sample of people involved in the study. She is currently doing a study with Rutgers University involving Undergraduate students. She is using yoga techniques to try to help improve students overall wellbeing and understand how those techniques can influence their academic lives.
