abstract = "We describe two studies of the interstellar magnetic field in
regions of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), including those
affected by the interaction with the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).
We use optical polarization data from aligned grains in the
interstellar medium of the SMC in order to map the sky-projected
direction of the magnetic field and determine characteristics of
the SMC and Pan-Magellanic field structures. The earlier,
photoelectric data are reanalyzed and they provide values for the
average projected magnetic field intensity (1.7 ~ 10\−6 G)
and the random field component intensity (3.5 ~ 10\−6 G).
Another on-going program uses imaging data and, when concluded,
will allow more local estimates of the field intensity in the SMC
NE/Wing regions. Additional goals include cross-correlating our
field mapping results with those of point sources and structures
found by the Spitzer Space Telescope in the SMC between 3.6 and 8
