Dr. Doris Chang is a Professor of Political Science at Wichita State University’s Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. She holds a Ph.D. in East Asian History from The Ohio State University and specializes in Taiwan’s political and social dynamics. Her research bridges global and local perspectives, focusing on human rights, gender policies, and women’s leadership in the Asia-Pacific. She has authored a book, Women’s Movements in Twentieth-Century Taiwan, and contributes to international conferences and publications.

Dr. Chang’s work examines Taiwan’s legal, social, and cultural transformations, including LGBTQ+ rights, UN gender policies, and comparative democratic governance. Her research spans historical analyses (e.g., women’s status shifts since 1920) to contemporary issues (e.g., same-sex marriage legalization). She also explores leadership figures like Chen Chu and contrasts historical national identity narratives through figures like Madame Chiang Kai-shek and Hsiu-lien Lu.

Her publications reflect interdisciplinary approaches, combining political science, gender studies, and historical analysis. Grants and service roles (not detailed here) further her academic contributions. No specific awards or lab affiliations are noted in available materials.
