A graduate student should be able to explain their dissertation in one sentence that a family member understands. If you can't do that, you might not fully understand it yourself.

Your dissertation topic is real, and someone once told me, if you can't explain your topic in one sentence, you don't know what it is. I'll give you another sentence or two beyond that, but understand that you really need to break it down and explain it simply if your parents or aunt and uncle or whatever are going to understand what you're doing.
