Friedrich Zillessen
I am a DPhil student in Politics at St Peter's College, University of Oxford.
My research explores the instrumentalisation of law in processes of democratic backsliding, with a focus on anticipating legal vulnerabilities, corresponding authoritarian strategies, and sources of democratic resilience.

I am a DPhil Politics Student at the Department of Politics and International Relations, under the supervision of Professor Jane Green. In my doctoral studies, I aim to examine potential measures to increase political representation of young individuals in democracies and ultimately enhance intergenerational justice.
Prior to the DPhil, I studied Psychology (BSc) and Sociology (BA) at University of Innsbruck and continued my Sociology studies (MSc) at University of Oxford. Most recently, I worked at Boston Consulting Group.
