Youth Research – Australia and the UAE

My name's Damien Arthur and I am a consumer researcher with a specialty in youth culture.

I'm an Australian by nationality, but I spend nine months of the year researching and teaching at Zayed University in the United Arab Emirates. On occasions I teach Consumer Behaviour for the University of Adelaide, and Qualitative Research for the Australian Institute of Music.

I am also the director and founder of Youth Research Australia. In this capacity, I provide research and consulting advice to organisations looking to successfully engage and communicate with Australia’s young adults.

Browse my site to learn more about my academic research, consulting and lecturing experiences, and how I might be able to help you. If you want to contact me for research work, media comment, or just a general chit-chat, email damien@youthresearch.com.au. Hope to hear from you soon.
