The work of students enrolled in Dr. Leslie Butler's HIST 295: The Contested Ballot in American History (Fall 2020) culminated in a Scalar project titled, "Voting in 2020: A Historical Perspective on Elections." Dr. Butler and the students collaborated with Oxy's Center for Digital Liberal Arts (CDLA) and library Special Collections and and used the college's F. Ray Risdon Collection of Lincolniana and American Political Life. Leslie Butler is Oxy's 2020-2021 Ray Allen Billington Visiting Professor in U.S. History.
