Abstract
Writing centers are pedagogical spaces where student discourse varies. Utilizing case studies from two different writing centers, this chapter examines how writing-center identities align with student and tutor practices during writing-center sessions.

The chapter also raises implications for future research involving student discourse in writing centers.
