Dr Tiffany Shellam commences a new research project in 2016, Ancestors’ Words. The project examines historical Nyungar writings from 1860 to 1960 and will be undertaken in collaboration with the Nyungar community. The project is led by Curtin University and this research is funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC).

Deakin University and Colgate University in New York will also carry out research for the project.
