Hawzah News Agency - (Oxford - UK) - Aisha Ali Khan says she was told to “go home” by an Oxford University worker during a conversation on politics.

According to Khan, Dr Peet Morris, a researcher and lecturer at the University of Oxford, told her to “go home” if she wanted to keep hold of “barbaric practices that subjugated women”. She said he also “demanded a ban on the Burka.”

The alleged incident took place at a dinner in Yorkshire where Khan was sat on a table with people from the higher education sector.

Khan further said that Dr Morris’s wife, Dr Harriet Dunbar-Morris, attempted to calm her husband down, a claim that has been disputed.

Dr Harriet Dunbar-Morris said A meaningful choice Rachel Cordery the allegations by Khan were “very upsetting” and do not reflect her “recollection of the private event.”

Khan wrote on Twitter that she could not understand how Dr DunbarMorris could “deny the racist abuse her husband directed at [her] when there were many witnesses present at the dinner who are happy to come forward.”

A History and English teacher, she said: “As a woman of colour, I felt singled out and victimised. The more I and other guests on the table pushed back against his racist tropes, the angrier and louder he became.”

Although she does not wear a hijab or burka, Khan feels it was the right of a woman to wear what she wished. Khan wrote on Twitter that she was “deeply disappointed” with the response by both University of Oxford and Portsmouth University.

A spokesperson for the University of Oxford said: “We have been made aware of allegations on social media, which we understand relate to a conversation at a private event unconnected to the University.
