Evidence

Truth

Imperialism

GROUPS FOR THE WIKIBOOK CHAPTERS

Imperialism and Gender: Nora, Alessia, Rebecca, Megan

Truth in history (WW2 in Japanese and Chinese history text books): Rosalind, Jae, Sajjan

Truth in Memory: Tingjiun, Malina, Lola

Malina (just as a suggestion, I thought about writing on the accuracy of memory, the basis of testimonies, from a psychological point of view, touching points like the "Mandela effect" or "false memory" )

Great suggestion Malina (this is Clare writing here) - and it can be compared with legal definitions of testimony etc. Any takers for this idea? The groups have to be 3-4 people. I'd be interested into looking into the subject of Truth in Memory if it helps - Georgie. Here's quite an interesting research article about "post-truth" and Involuntary Opinion Confirmation which might be what you were thinking of.
