This is a proposal for a two-day symposium and associated book entitled, "Social Identity, Intergroup Conflict, and Conflict Reduction." The purpose of the symposium is to elucidate the many ways in which identity and intergroup conflict interrelate. This will lead to substantial increases in the understanding of both social identity (by identifying the ways in which individual and group definition operate in real world conflicts between groups) and intergroup harm doing (by specifying the diverse ways in which the identities of groups and individual group members contribute to group-based aggression). In addition, the symposium will analyze ways to reduce intergroup conflict by taking into account the role of social identity. The concepts of self and identity have recently come to the forefront of the social and behavioral sciences (cf. Ashmore and Jussim, 1997), but their application to problems of conflict and conflict reduction has received-limited attention. Further, existing work on identity and conflict is piecemeal and fragmented, spread across a wide range of conflict situations as studied by a diverse set of scientists. We expect that the symposium will identify, organize, and prioritize a set of theoretical questions, investigative approaches, methodological issues, and empirical findings pertaining to the role of self and identity as antecedents, accompaniments, and consequences of intergroup conflict and conflict resolution. In doing so, the symposium and associated book will help set an agenda for future research in this area. Three themes provide the overall structure of the symposium: (1) Identity issues are important to diverse intergroup conflicts -- When (past and present), Where (in all parts of the world), What (those involving widespread killing as well as less violent systems of oppression); (2) Social identity is both a factor that contributes to intergroup conflict and a possible tool that can be used to reduce group-based harm doing; (3) To understand how identity figures in intergroup strife, it is necessary to consider multiple levels of analysis which requires that participants represent diverse academic disciplines. These three guiding themes yield three sessions, each with two speakers and a discussant, aimed at identifying how social identity contributes to intergroup strife. The fourth, and concluding, session will focus on how social identity might be used to reduce conflict between groups. This topic will be addressed by one speaker and a roundtable discussion including all speakers/authors and discussants. An edited volume based on the symposium will be published by Oxford University Press. This book will not be a simple proceedings collection. Each symposium paper will be read by the three organizers/editors and an independent referee. The organizers/editors will synthesize the critiques and send them to each author, who will then revise his/her contribution. In addition, the associated published book will have an introductory chapter that describes the volume's themes and organization, and a concluding chapter that summarizes the book and highlights emergent issues.

这是为期两天的研讨会和题为“社会认同、群体间冲突和冲突减少”的相关书籍的提案。 研讨会的目的是阐明身份和群体间冲突相互关联的多种方式。这将导致对社会身份（通过确定个人和群体定义在现实世界中群体之间冲突中运作的方式）和群体间伤害行为（通过指定群体和个人身份的不同方式）的理解大幅增加。群体成员会导致基于群体的攻击行为）。 此外，研讨会还将分析考虑社会认同的作用来减少群体间冲突的方法。 自我和身份的概念最近已成为社会和行为科学的前沿（参见 Ashmore 和 Jussim，1997），但它们在冲突和减少冲突问题上的应用受到的关注有限。 此外，现有的关于身份和冲突的工作是零散和支离破碎的，分布在由不同科学家研究的各种冲突情况中。 我们期望研讨会将确定、组织和优先考虑一系列理论问题、调查方法、方法论问题和实证研究结果，这些问题涉及自我和身份作为群体间冲突和冲突解决的前因、伴随和后果的作用。 在此过程中，研讨会和相关书籍将有助于为该领域的未来研究制定议程。 研讨会的总体结构由三个主题构成：（1）身份问题对于不同的群体间冲突非常重要——何时（过去和现在）、何处（世界各地）、什么（涉及广泛杀戮以及较少的杀戮）暴力压迫制度）； (2) 社会认同既是导致群体间冲突的一个因素，也是减少基于群体的伤害行为的可能工具； (3) 为了理解群体间冲突中的身份特征，有必要考虑多层次的分析，这要求参与者代表不同的学科。 这三个指导主题产生了三个会议，每个会议有两名发言人和一名讨论者，旨在确定社会身份如何导致群体间冲突。 第四场也是最后一场会议将重点讨论如何利用社会身份来减少群体之间的冲突。 该主题将由一位演讲者讨论，并由所有演讲者/作者和讨论者参加圆桌讨论。 根据这次研讨会编辑的一卷将由牛津大学出版社出版。本书不会是一本简单的会议论文集。 每篇研讨会论文将由三位组织者/编辑和一位独立审稿人宣读。 组织者/编辑将综合评论并将其发送给每位作者，然后由他们修改他/她的贡献。 此外，相关出版的书籍将有一个介绍性章节，描述该卷的主题和组织，以及一个总结性章节，总结该书并强调紧急问题。
