Her laboratory work focuses on the acute responses and chronic adaptations associated with sedentary time and high intensity interval exercise, while her community work focuses on the built environment, age-friendly cities, and the benefits of active aging. Dr. Dogra has published extensively and presented at several national and international conferences on these topics. She was recently part of a panel on the Future of Aging at the International Society of Behavioural Nutrition and Physical Activity in Hong Kong, and will be speaking at the upcoming Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology conference on exercise intensity and respiratory health. Dr. Dogra is a Certified Exercise Physiologist and has extensive experience with exercise testing and prescription.

International Keynote Speaker
Dr. Tony Rossi, Western Sydney University
'This presentation will provide an overview of my life in research across 20 years that falls under the broad banner of learning for professions, the nature of work and professional practice commencing with my PhD in physical education teacher education, to elite sport, to community coaching, allied health, teachers and schools and more recently alongside my friend and colleague Aman Hussain, in medicine. Whilst the presentation will look at the ups and downs of a research career from a reflective point of view, it will also be future focused and consider what lies ahead for researchers in allied health, sport, and educational professions. In doing so, I will consider the changing role of universities and the academic staff who work within them, and the increasing challenges in the pursuit of truth, reality and justice in the age of an audit culture, fake news and the mistrust of expertise.'
Presentation: Researching learning, work and practice in the kinesiological fields: Reflecting on a journey and contemplating a future.
