International Conference on
Discrimination and Tolerance between Social Groups
Jena, Germany, June 30 ?€? July 3, 2010

The Jena-Research Unit on Discrimination and Tolerance in
Intergroup Relations (funded by the German Research Foundation,
DFG) is pleased to announce an International Conference on
?€?Discrimination and Tolerance in Intergroup Relations?€?.

Understanding the social phenomena of discrimination and
tolerance in relations between social groups has challenged
psychological theory and research for many decades. It is the aim
of this conference to cover a broad range of research
perspectives and to bring together researchers from different
areas of psychology to stimulate exchange and cross-fertilization
between these perspectives. Researchers are invited to present
and discuss research and ideas from different angles, be it
social or personality psychology, developmental or educational
psychology, using a basic or applied focus on the issue.
Contributions covering the antecedents and consequences of
discrimination and tolerance as well as its underlying processes
are welcome. We especially encourage presentations of research
that deals with basic socio-structural conditions and
consequences as well as cognitive and motivational processes
either at the individual or collective level.

The conference will limit itself to oral presentations only that
will be structured along focussed thematic sessions. As an
eminent part of the programme, three internationally highly
distinguished scholars accepted our invitation for keynote
lectures: Melanie Killen (University of Maryland, USA), Klaus
Fiedler (Universit??t Heidelberg, Germany) and John Dovidio (Yale
University, USA). The size of the meeting will be restricted to
about 80 participants. The conference will take place from
Wednesday, June 30th to Saturday, July 3rd, 2010 in the historic
city centre of Jena, which has an impressive history of
intellectual life going back to the 16th century. Jena can be
easily reached by high-speed train connections and via
international airport hubs such as Berlin or Frankfurt.
Researchers are invited to submit a 250 word summary of their
proposed individual presentation by January 6th, 2010 to Annette
Baier (Annette.Ba...@uni-jena.de). We also offer the opportunity
that up to three proposals which have a common topic may be
submitted together. In case of acceptance we would group the
talks as one thematic session but reserve the right to add
additional talks to the session. A conference fee of EUR 50 for
junior and EUR 150 for senior participants will be charged
covering conference participation, coffee breaks and two lunches.
Annette Baier, Immo Fritsche (Immo.Frits...@uni-jena.de), and
Am??lie Mummendey (Amelie.Mummen...@uni-jena.de) are happy to
answer any inquiries related to the conference.
