Her research focuses on social and cultural history, particularly examining educational models, autobiographical writing traditions, scientific approaches to childhood studies, and the moral dimensions of historical narrative. Key themes include the intersection of historiography with literary theory and cultural representation.

Recent publications analyze childhood as a scientific and cultural construct in Liberal Italy, the moral pedagogy of Holocaust memory, and historiographic methodologies in European contexts. She has also contributed to debates on narrative structures in historical writing.

As a scholar, Tasca bridges disciplinary boundaries between history, literature, and educational theory, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to understanding cultural development processes.
