Research question, Annotated Bibliography, and Citation map
(20%)
Each project must include the following:
1. A research question
2. An annotated bibliography, in APA Style, for six academic sources (i.e., peer-reviewed
journals or book chapters published by a university press), at least three of which must be
published in 2021 or later.
3. A citation map that shows how the six sources are connected to each other AND how they
are connected to at least one of the assigned readings OR how they are connected to
another text that is written by the author of one of the assigned readings

Application project
The purpose of this exercise is to apply course content to a substantive topic of present-day
interest, including (but not limited to) those discussed in Part III of the course. The project should
be informed by the Research question, Annotated Bibliography, and Citation map, but it should be
addressed to, or usable by, a public audience. In other words, this project should communicate
your research and analysis of a present-day issue to a wider public, not just me as your instructor;
it should apply the six academic sources to a present-day issue in a way that is meaningful to the
public. The project can take any form that you want, such as a podcast, video, website, magazine
article, newspaper editorial, or blog posts, so long as it demonstrates that you have met the course
learning objectives.
Minimum expectations:
• the Application project should take into consideration the instructor’s feedback on the
Research question, Annotated Bibliography, and Citation map

• the project should be informed by six academic sources (i.e., peer-reviewed journals or
book chapters published by a university press), at least three of which must be published in
2021 or later. These can be the same as those used in the Research question, Annotated
Bibliography, and Citation map assignment.
• If your Application project uses a different research question and/or different academic
sources than those used in the Research question, Annotated Bibliography, and Citation
map, then the connection to course material (i.e., assigned readings) needs to be made
explicit.
• be at least 2,500 words OR 10 minutes in duration (or the equivalent thereof, depending on
what form your project takes)
• No matter what form your project takes, you must hand in a list of your sources cited in APA
Style.
