Lily Chang is currently the Henry Lumley Research Fellow in History at Magdalene College, Cambridge, and a research associate of the Centre for History and Economics. She received a DPhil in History from the University of Oxford in 2011, as part of the Leverhulme Trust funded China’s War with Japan programme. She holds an MSt in Oriental Studies from the University of Oxford, an MA in Regional Studies-East Asia from Harvard University, and a BA in East Asian Studies (with high honours) and Politics from Oberlin College.

Drawing upon over 400 previously unexamined archival legal case records from four different Chinese archives in China and Taiwan, her doctoral research examines the legal and moral ambiguities in how the law should treat the young in the first half of twentieth-century China. More specifically, the study compared how legal institutions that operated during China’s War of Resistance against Japan (1937-1945), more commonly folded into the Pacific component of World War II, adjudicated juvenile offenders and the way in which the outbreak of the war served as a catalyst to reshaping and redefining ideas on and about criminality and children. She is currently working a monograph that comparatively traces the legal evolution of China’s juvenile justice system with that of legal systems in Japan, France, Germany, and the Netherlands during the Second World War.
