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. Specifically, the work captures and analyzes verbal interactions and spatial conditions that reflect different levels of authoritative discourse for participants. The chapter also raises implications for future research involving student discourse in writing centers.
