The obscured quasar population has been found to consist of a wide variety of objects. In this proposal, we wish to study the host galaxies of six z~0.6 type-2 quasars selected via their mid-infrared emission. Infrared spectra and photometry of these objects show that they include both actively star-forming and non-starforming galaxies, and have dust columns to the AGN ranging from moderate to high. We will relate the host galaxy properties to the infrared properties of these type-2 quasars, and to the host galaxies of type-1 quasars of similar redshift and bolometric luminosity. These observations will thus help us to understand how the different types of obscured quasars are related to each other, and to the normal quasar population.
