Just Warfare, Or Genocide?: Oliver Cromwell And The Siege Of Drogheda, Lukas Dregne

University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)

Oliver Cromwell has always been a subject of fierce debate since his death on September 3, 1658. The most notorious stain blotting his reputation occurred during the conquest of Ireland by forces of the English Parliament under his command. This essay will concentrate on Cromwell and his New Model Army’s siege at Drogheda, the most brutal of all the military confrontations which transpired during the settlement. From the time Cromwell’s body was exhumed and mutilated in 1661, up unto the present day, the way in which he is remembered has changed significantly. While some position Cromwell as just one of …

University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)

The UMontana app is one of the current marketing strategies that the University of Montana is using to make information more easily accessible to students.

Our research shows that students studying abroad struggle to gain intercultural competence during their experience abroad because of factors like culture shock, language barriers, or sociocultural differences. The goal of this project is …

Vocabulary And Morphological Awareness Development In Young Children, Maya Z. Anger, Kelcie Cassidy, Mogan Williams, Cheska Deitsch, Sarah Moen, Julie Wolter

University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)

Purpose. The purpose of this small feasibility study is to provide data to inform the use of a experimenter-developed task, the Morphological Awareness Semantics Task to examine the vocabulary conceptualization in kindergarten children’s development of morphological (word meaning) in a child-friendly paradigm. Significance. Morphological awareness refers to the smallest linguistic unit of meaning where base words and affixes come together to form new meaning (teach to teacher has a new meaning). There is now good evidence that children rely on morphemes when developing vocabulary and reading (Carlisle & Stone, 2005; Deacon, Whalen, & Kirby, 2011; Wolter, Wood, D'Zatko, 2009). Children’s …

"I Want An Authenticity" : Developing Communicative Competence Of Defense Critical Language With Audio And Article News, Wuri Prima Kusumastuti

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Defense critical language learner generally focus on communicative competence instead of linguistics competence due to their responsibility of collaborating with native speaker to solve a problem in the target country. Thus, it is expected for military people to be able to not only speak the language but also understanding the culture and values in target country to avoid misunderstanding between both party. However, they usually have limited time to attend the language class due to the urgency of their job. Thus, we believe that it is important to start emerging both language and culture since the very beginning of their …

Rape By Malice, Kari Hong

Montana Law Review

When people seek to reform rape law, the focus is on changing the actus reus—either abandoning the force element or redefining consent. This article argues that both approaches overlook a critical opportunity for reform, which is the crime’s mens rea. Knowledge, or general intent, is the most common mens rea in rape offenses. The problem with this mental state is that proving what a defendant knew is one of the hardest parts of any criminal prosecution. Although scholars have explored reckless or negligent standards, this article proposes that states adopt the mens rea of malice—a callous indifference towards the risk …

Confusion Over Sovereign Immunity : What Is Article Ii, Section 18 About?, Anthony Johnstone

Faculty Journal Articles & Other Writings

Sovereign and personal immunities are a complex inheritance of both constitutional and common law. Article II, Section 18 of the Montana Constitution concerns only one strand of sovereign immunity doctrine, the tort liability of the state. Although there may be good arguments in law and justice for abolition, federal and state courts have long established the sovereign and personal immunities that were untouched by the state constitutional waiver of tort liability immunity.
