David Kellogg
David Kellogg writes, teaches, and lives in South Korea, and has done so since 1997. He holds an MA in applied linguistics from the University of Essex and a PhD in general linguistics from Macquarie University, but his main work for the last two decades has been in the lost Soviet sciences of pedology (whole child development), defectology (learning difficulties), and psychotechnics (the volitional control of executive functions).
Prior to 1997, David Kellogg lived in China for twelve years, working at the Beijing Institute of Cancer Research, Wuhan Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Academia Sinica), and also in Guangzhou and Xi’an. He has published over seventy articles in indexed scholarly journals, and authored, co-authored, translated or co-translated more than twenty-five books, about half published in Korea and half published internationally. He supervised over twenty MA theses at Seoul National University of Education and Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. In August 2024, he retired from Sangmyung University in Seoul, South Korea.

In 2019 I received the Ruqaiya Hasan prize. This prize is awarded annually by the Australian Systemic-Functional Linguistics Association for scholarship in systemic functional linguistics in memory of the late Ruqaiya Hasan.
I speak French, and Chinese reasonably well, and have an academic reading knowledge of Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese. I am currently learning Russian and have translated work by the Russian children’s writer Kornei Chukovsky and the child psychologist L.S. Vygotsky. I have passed the Level Three TOPIK test in Korean.
I am an oil painter and have participated in three exhibitions in China and two in South Korea.
I have translated several works of modern Chinese literature for publication in Passport, the magazine of new international writing, published in Cambridge, England.
