On April 29, 2020 Marloes Oomen successfully defended her doctoral thesis "Iconicity as a mediator between verb semantics and morphosyntactic structure: A corpus-based study on verbs in German Sign Language" - in an online ceremony, as you can easily see. Annika Herrmann was a member of the examination committee. With a clearly defined procedure, ceremonial addresses, and a great speech by Roland Pfau, the atmosphere was very festive despite covid-19.
Here is the link to the dissertation:
