Dr. Chang's research examines the intersection of political history and cinematic expression, particularly how Hong Kong film culture navigated colonial governance, national identity, and Cold War tensions. Her award-winning monograph Screening Communities (2019) analyzes postwar Hong Kong cinema as a dynamic site for community formation through filmic narratives. Current work investigates the politics of sexuality and censorship in Hong Kong cinema, exploring how representations of sex shaped industrial categorization and cultural discourse from the 1970s onward.
