Bruce Stewart Hall is a historian who studies the intellectual and social history of a region of West Africa called the Sahel, which straddles the southern edge of the Sahara Desert. He will be working on a project focused on a social and cultural history of the famously-remote town of Timbuktu in modern-day Mali between 1846 and 1918.
