Posted this in the “College Life” forum initially, but figured people here might have some more experience/insight.

Anyway–I’m an English undergrad with the intention of attending grad school. With this in mind, I’d like to do some undergraduate research to bolster my CV/Resume for Graduate applications. However, finding a research position for Liberal Arts in the Humanities seems much more difficult than someone in the sciences. There typically aren’t “labs” for us to work in.

Does anyone know how I should go about trying to get involved in undergraduate research in the Humanities?

The one thing it seems like I can do is write an Honors Thesis, which I’m already on track to do, but is there anything else I should be doing to make myself appealing to graduate programs?
