The Astronomy For All Lecture Series was started by Associate Fellow Charles Barclay in 2006 as a way of strengthening and reinforcing the link between Green Templeton College, home of the Radcliffe Observatory, and astronomy and the Oxford Astrophysics Department in particular.

Charles is an Associate Fellow of Green Templeton, Outreach Astronomer, Director of the Blackett Observatory at Marlborough College, and Academic Visitor in the Astrophysics sub-department at the University of Oxford.
