Senior Fellow
ALA Center for the Future of Libraries
Ken Bigger is Senior Fellow at the American Library Association’s Center for the Future of Libraries, in partnership with the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy, through June 2023. He is the former Executive Director of the Chicago Literacy Alliance (CLA). He received his Ph.D. in Religious Ethics from the University of Chicago in 2005, and has worked primarily in higher education administration and nonprofit management.
At the CLA, Ken led the development of the Equity Through Literacy Framework, which served as the organization's theory of change, and the development of the Literacy Equity Initiative, which wedded data-driven decision-making to catalytic, asset-based collective impact work in partnership with Chicago communities facing barriers to literacy access.
