November 25, 2019: Mary and Dolly placed embargo (May 2 2019 to May 2 2021) as per student's request. Good morning Stephanie and Alexei, On Spectrum, there is no indication that this thesis is under an embargo restriction. It is visible to: Anyone (as seen below). Thanks, Dolly From: Stephanie Bolster Sent: Monday, November 25, 2019 10:34 AM To: Dolly Grewal Cc: Alexei Perry Subject: Alexei Perry's MA thesis CAUTION: This email originated from outside of Concordia University. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. If in doubt, please submit a ticket regarding suspicious emails to help@concordia.ca Dear Dolly, Alexei Perry, who completed her MA under my supervision earlier this year, has just learned that, contrary to her wishes, her thesis is available to be downloaded from Spectrum. She had intended to restrict access for as long as possible, but clearly something went awry during the uploading process. I'm writing to ask whether it is possible, at this date, to restrict access. I hope -- as does Alexei, of course -- that an embargo can be placed so that this thesis, which is currently under consideration by several major publishers internationally, will not be jeopardized in any way, in its journey to become a book. If there's anything Alexei or I can do to facilitate this process, please let me know. Best, Stephanie Bolster Professor, Creative Writing Department of English
