I outline the observational programme we are undertaking at the Mt John University Observatory in New Zealand to obtain long time-base high-resolution spectra of selected $ Doradus, and related, stars. We have investigated various methods to successfully analyse these observations to obtain reliable mode-identifications in order to constrain the theoretical models of $ Dor stars. In particular we are looking at the way that g-modes differ from p-mode pulsations in the modeidentification methods and the effects of rotation in these stars.. (Oral Presentations)
