Stephen W. Henneberry grew up in the Seacoast area of New England, in the small town of Stratham, New Hampshire. He has lived and worked in Japan since April 1998, and currently lives on the beach in Gotsu, Shimane.
Projects
- Santa Online: A project born from the clash of a passion for volunteering locally as Santa for various places and the social distancing forced upon us by the COVID crisis. To address the challenge, I decided to create custom Santa videos for each location we have visited over the years. The children submitted their questions through their teachers, and I created videos of ‘Santa’ replying to them. In addition, to help fund Santa’s annual gifts to some local organizations, Santa created personal Christmas greetings for children around the globe.
- Beikokudo (米刻堂 ‚): The house next door… A second home on the beach in Hashi with four bedrooms available for rent, both as a remote-work space, long-term residency, or short stays via Airbnb. The house includes an English Library space, open to local children on weekends, and a large multipurpose space available for workshops, classes, and events.
Blogs
- Touring Notes: Bike if by Land, SUP if by Sea: Touring notes from the motorcycle saddle and the stand-up paddle board. Far from complete, but updated from time to time.
- EdTechTESOL: Once an active blog on Educational Technology and TESOL, it launched during my M.A. program at the University of Manchester but is now only occasionally updated.
