About Us

Who are We?

We are a digital media and consulting company co-founded by sociologists Luke Hanna, MA and Dr. Stephanie Wilson, PhD. Applied Worldwide Sociology Consulting offers services to a variety of clients in multiple sectors with the goal of using sociological skills and insights to enhance clients’ projects, programs, and small businesses.

Why Sociology?

Sociology is the scientific study of social interactions, groups, and institutions, which makes it uniquely adaptable to a wide variety of industries and issues. Sociologists use theories about the social world and scientific research to produce evidence-based insights relevant to individuals, organizations, and institutions. This “multi-level” approach allows us to customize our strategies for every client, at every level.  

While sociology provides us with a broad scope of knowledge applicable to many industries and settings, we do specialize in a few key areas within sociology. Those areas include:

  • Health Disparities
  • Organizations
  • Communities
  • Social History
  • Digital Media

With expertise in the existing evidence as well as the skills to conduct original assessments and evaluations unique to your needs, we can pinpoint the best data-driven approaches for all our clients projects and programs.

From health equity and organizational dynamics to community resilience and media relations, sociological research provides decades of actionable insights just waiting to be utilized by you and your team!

How We Work with Clients

Our diverse set of clients requires a diverse set of work approaches. With that said, our first step is always to learn as much as we can about our clients and their most pressing needs. We always provide the opportunity to share concerns and goals with us in your own words. We listen to your concerns and goals, take notes, discuss options for moving forward, and propose a collaborative approach that ensures our skills meet your needs. 

Our goal is to personalize our partnership with you to maximize the benefits of working with us. From there, we draw up any necessary contracts and it’s time for us to get to work!
