2016 Jan 14

Lindsay Decker, a senior at Lycoming College with a major in archaeology and history from Shapleigh, Maine, presented research at the 10th Annual Moravian College Undergraduate Conference on Medieval and Early Modern Studies in December.

Decker shared her research about “The Political Influences of the Women in Charlemagne’s Family” during the 9th century.

"The conference provides students with the opportunity to share important research and build public speaking skills," said Cullen Chandler, Ph.D., a history professor at Lycoming College. "It is an important first-step toward becoming recognized as experts in their respective fields."

About 200 students, faculty and historians from about 30 colleges and universities attended the conference. The conference was open to all college students who conducted research about the Medieval and Early Modern periods in any field of study, including art, history, English, philosophy, religion or languages. Students also could present period musical or theatrical productions.
