Great start!

Great start guys! Nice to see some thoughtful and interesting posts coming on line.  (Yo Josh - get a wiggle on!) I'm looking forward to seeing you develop this idea in more earnest in the next few weeks.  Meanwhile, you've got to figure out three things to start with:

1. What is meant by the 'politics of discomfort'? What is it and what makes it political?
2. What is your rationale for looking at it? Why is it important? 
3. What are you going to do (make /change/ realise/ advertise etc) in the real world

PS Don't forget to publish your posts or they will stay invisible as a Draft. (Joe, see your last post here)
