Still, there’s a real tension here: it is my job as an educator both to make students •comfortable• and to make students •uncomfortable•. And by meaning too many different things at once, that word — “comfortable” — complicates the job.

Instead, try breaking comfort/discomfort along different axes:

- seen / unseen
- valued / unvaled
- safe / unsafe
- unchallenged / challenged
- frustrated / unfrustrated
etc.
