Vanessa is thrilled to return to the Midwest.<\/p>\n<p>At Ball State, she will be teaching courses in Renaissance literature, Shakespeare, gender and performance studies.<\/p>\n<h2>How did you get interested in performance studies?<\/h2>\n<p>My interest in convents and novices in early modern drama grew out of a combination of taking a graduate seminar at UC Davis and TAing for a Shakespeare course. I started to notice a pattern in which young women were entering and exiting convents frequently in these plays and I began to wonder how that might have resonated on an English stage during a time in England\u2019s history where convents and Catholicism were outlawed. This early question led me to start researching nuns and convents and ultimately involved a trip to England where I was a resident at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shakespearesglobe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Globe Theater<\/a> and made a side research trip to York where I stayed at Bar Convent, the first convent in England after they were banned in the Renaissance. My London research reinforced my interest in performance and in convent buildings themselves, specifically their remains whether in the form of ruins or re-purposed buildings.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4259\" style=\"width: 463px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bsuenglish.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/10\/rapatz-york-monastic-ruins.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4259\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4259\" src=\"https:\/\/bsuenglish.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/10\/rapatz-york-monastic-ruins.jpg\" alt=\"Photo provided by Vanessa Rapatz\" width=\"453\" height=\"604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2014\/10\/10095933\/rapatz-york-monastic-ruins.jpg 453w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2014\/10\/10095933\/rapatz-york-monastic-ruins-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4259\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo provided by Vanessa Rapatz<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>How would you describe yourself as a teacher?<\/h2>\n<p>I think I\u2019m an engaging and enthusiastic teacher.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><strong>I want students to have an active interest in the texts they read.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>When teaching early British literature, fostering this level of interest can be difficult, especially because early writing can often read like a foreign language. Because of this, my classes often begin with translation and annotation work; we might spend a significant amount of time focused on the way a word has changed over time. The next day I might have the students analyze a sonnet and wait for them to have that \u201clight bulb\u201d moment when they realize I\u2019ve slipped them Beyonce lyrics in an early modern form.<\/p>\n<h2>What are you most proud of as a teacher?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">My proudest moments are always when I see that spark of recognition in a student, whether it be because they can see a connection between an early modern text and contemporary concerns or because after weeks of hard work they realize they can decipher a poetic trope on their own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>One of my favorite moments of my first semester at Ball State was when my British Literature 1 students were discussing their responses to Chaucer\u2019s Wife of Bath character and we decided that she would make a fascinating Facebook personality. This lead to us creating an essay prompt that led one student to create mock Facebook profiles for The Wife of Bath and Margery of Kemp, and another student to take create Dating profiles for the same two characters as she juxtaposed medieval depictions of marriage and religion.<\/p>\n<h2>What are you working on right now?<\/h2>\n<p>Right now I\u2019m working on publishing an article that relates Shakespeare\u2019s <i>Measure for Measure<\/i> and the way we read its novice nun to the recent conflict between the <a href=\"https:\/\/lcwr.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leadership Conference of Women Religious<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/w2.vatican.va\/content\/vatican\/en.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Vatican<\/a>.
