Data analysis was conducted using both inductive and deductive coding. Findings demonstrate that participants in this study possessed a number of sharedcharacteristics, including an awareness of the additional barriers that women must navigate andrecognition of the importance of building relationships with undergraduate women, both ofwhich seem to be beneficial in allyship efforts. Further, while allies understood that their role asadvocates evolved and developed over time, many participants

Theanalysis of prior work in the areas of feminist and de-colonizing methodologies points to theinherent link between considering ethics as an integral part of research and the holistic quality ofresearch findings. In the following we build on this discussion to explore a practice-based way ofintegrating ethical considerations into the research process as part of a larger, cohesiveconsideration of research quality.Theoretical frameworkThe Quality Framework that
