Welcome to my home page. After 36 years of service, I left UniSA on July 31, 2009 and am now an Adjunct Professor with Justice and Society, UniSA.  I was previously a Head of the School of Social Work and Social Policy and for many years the Director of Postgraduate Studies and the Research Portfolio Leader in the School and the Coordinator of the Centre for Peace, Conflict and Mediation (CPCM) - one of the groups that was attached to the Hawke Research Istitute. From 1993 to 2009, I was also the Program Director of five post-graduate courses in the School - the Doctor of Human Service Research; Master of Social Work, Master and Graduate Diploma in Mediation and Conflict Resolution, and the Graduate Certificate in Mediation. I have continued to conduct research and supervise PhD students in my Adjunct role. From 2009-2016 I was a Visiting Professor and Examiner for the Mediation and Conflict Intervention programs at the National Uiversity of Ireland, Maynooth.

I have trained mediators in all States of Australia, NZ, England, Ireland, Sweden, Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Fiji and have been invited to present Keynote papers at national conferences in Australia and NZ, and international conferences in England, New Zealand, Ireland, Denmark, Scotland, Argentina, Canada, Malaysia, Suva, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and South Korea.  As the past-President of the World Mediation Forum I founded the Asia Pacific Mediation Forum in 2001. I have been elected as the APMF President at every conference since then, and organised and managed nine conferences in the region - in Australia, Fiji, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam and South Korea. The next conference will be in PNG when Covid-19 is under control. In May 2013, I co-conveved the 6th World Summit on Mediation with Age-Related Issues in Adelaide, in partnership with the Elder Mediation International Network (EMIN), and then established the Elder Mediation Australasian Network (EMAN), which I still Chair. In 2014, I was appointed to the Board of EMIN and as a member of EMIN's Certification Committee.  I am now an EMIN certified Elder Mediator (Advanced).

In private practice, I conduct consultancies, mediate disputes, and run conflict resolution and mediation training programs.  Since leaving the University I have conducted training programs and consultancies for the National Family Mediation Service in Ireland, the SA Department of Health and Well Being, the Australian Education Union, the Department for Education and Children's Services, Local Councils, Relationships Australia in 6 States, Resolution Institute in Australia and NZ, Multicultural SA and Catalyst and have also run many  face-to-face and two online elder mediation training programs for accredited mediators from Australia and New Zealand.

RESEARCH REPORTS

1.      2018-2019: Bagshaw, Dale (consultant/researcher). 'Partnering with African Australian Men to Prevent Domestic Violence' Project for the Catalyst Foundation – developed a culturally responsive, evidence based “best practice” domestic violence education and resource Toolbox for men from CALD communities through an extensive literature review and community engagement processes to enable men to take on the role of community leaders and mentors to influence and empower other men. The Toolbox is available in hard copies and online and focuses on increasing knowledge, understanding and awareness of domestic violence through culturally appropriate and relevant strategies. Influential African Australian community leaders not only endorsed but also directly participated in generating the Toolbox for African communities.

Four research teams met annually for five days from 1997- 2004 in Penang, Malaysia, exchanged research papers and findings and have recently co-authored an international research book (see publications below). As the leader of the UniSA DRACON research team I made substantial contributions to the research report published as a monograph by Malmo University, Sweden with funding from the Swedish Research Institute and more recently to the co-authored book published by Springer in their Research series.
