Bailey Compton

In 2019, Bailey graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in Comparative Literature and Germanic Languages and Literatures. The following year, she completed an accelerated master’s degree in Transcultural Studies at the same institution. More recently, she shifted her academic home to the Department of Film, Television, and Media to continue her studies at the doctoral level. Her current research on folklore in film derives from a broader interest in the adaptation of narratives across storytelling mediums. Bailey will meld her background in cultural studies with her current research interests to pursue questions of gender representation and sexuality.
