About
Paolo Landri is a leading sociologist of education whose work critically examines the intersection of digital technologies, organizational theory, and educational governance. His research focuses on how automation, artificial intelligence, and datafication are reshaping educational practices and policies. Landri is best known for his incisive analysis of the "laws of edu-automation," where he identifies three distinct approaches to understanding how AI and automated systems are transforming education—from algorithmic management to the reconfiguration of professional roles. His most-cited paper, "Laws of Edu-Automation?" (2022, 16 citations), has become a foundational reference for scholars exploring the socio-technical dynamics of digital education. Beyond this, Landri has made significant contributions to the study of educational organizations, materiality, and the sociology of knowledge, often drawing on actor-network theory and practice-based approaches. His work is widely cited for its theoretical depth and practical relevance, offering a critical lens on the promises and perils of technological change in education. A key figure in European educational research, Landri continues to shape debates on how schools and universities navigate the pressures of automation, standardization, and digital transformation.
