On September 14, 2016, Wang Shizhou, the professor of Peking University Law School, visited Luojia Lecture Series on Environmental Law and gave a lecture on “the Significance of Comparative Methodology in Current Chinese Law Research”. The lecture was chaired by Prof. Qin Tianbao, who first briefly introduced the educational background, work experience, research field and achievements of Prof. Wang Shizhou.

In addition, Prof. Wang expressed his own expectations to the students and the teachers attending the lecture, expecting students with global perspective can pay attention to learning methods and flexible use.

After that, Prof. Qin Tianbao summarized the lecture and encouraged students to read more foreign original books.
