Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory of 2.6 square miles with 32,000 residents. It was founded as a permanent watchtower by the Almohads in 1160 and following a number of changes of ownership was ceded to the British in 1713 under the Treaty of Utrecht.
Today Gibraltar's economy is based largely on tourism, online gambling, financial services and shipping. The Royal Navy dockyard contributes about 7% of the local economy, with manufacturing adding another 2%.
During the field course we explore human-macaque interactions from a diversity of perspectives. Students will gain first-hand experience in collecting and analysing field data relating to primate behaviour. Ethnographic approaches are used to explore the relationships between people and Barbary macaques in Gibraltar.
Antonia and Annika "had an amazing time in Gibraltar, and the trip was a memorable end to [their] teaching at Durham".
