Abstract
We present new optical spectropolarimetry of two bright type 1 AGNs. The observations are part of a project on broad line active galaxies in which, through data analysis and modelling, we aim to identify the polarization mechanism and to probe both the BLR and scattering region geometry and kinematics.
