Andrea Tarantino, Associate Professor in Didactics and Special Pedagogy, has developed a systematic research path, structured around three fundamental areas: experiential learning, the heuristic use of metaphor and a prevalent, though not exclusive, focus on adult education. In this context, metaphor serves as both an interpretative guide and an analytical tool, as shown in the recent volume Per una pedagogia di frontiera (2023), which opens new horizons on implicit and latent educational needs. https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7719-3344
