Chang is Director of Clinical Training and Associate Professor of Psychology at the New School for Social Research, and a research scientist at the Center of Excellence for Cultural Competence, New York State Psychiatric Institute. Her research seeks to improve the well-being of racial and ethnic minorities by a) clarifying the role of race, ethnicity, and culture in shaping interpersonal dynamics, b) identifying strategies for improving relational processes and outcomes in interracial and intercultural contexts, and c) developing inclusive, culturally-grounded interventions for clinical and educational contexts that integrate mindfulness and other contemplative tradi- tions. In 2018, she was awarded a grant from the Mind and Life Institute to develop and pilot a mindfulness-based critical consciousness training pro- gram for K-5 teachers in New York City.
