Provides a formal citation of the work
Provides a concise summary of the source, usually in a single paragraph format
The proposal and annotated bibliography component of the assignment requires:
1. A descriptive working title
2. A statement of your argument (or thesis)
3. An explanation of the topic of your essay for this course
4. The theory, philosopher, and policy or current issue you will be analysing
5. An annotated bibliography (using APA formatting) with at least 5 scholarly sources.
Annotated Bibliography
Your annotated bibliography must be in APA format, including correct alignment of the annotations – all lines
should be indented underneath the APA formatted reference (i.e., hanging indents). Please note that websites
such as Wikipedia, How Things Work, Answers.com and encyclopedias should NOT be used in academic research.
• Your annotated bibliography should consist of at least 5 scholarly sources.
• Follow correct APA style for citations and sources consulted.
• Below each source, write a brief summary (i.e., annotation). This could be about 3-4 sentences (50
words) which sum up the content of the article. If it is not clearly related to your topic, explain how and
why you will use this source. Please do not copy the abstract of the article. This is plagiarism. The topic to write about is “What are the implications of Guaranteed Basic Income models in a “democratic” society? Which democratic
theory fits best as an analytical tool for this debate? Consider, for example, whether a basic income could
help Canadians in light of the economic disruptions caused by the pandemic or by automation. “
