Abstract	This article argues for greater attention to the embodied experiences and material practices of single mothers in the academy. Using critical imagination (Royster and Kirsch) to analyze how texts in the field have represented single motherhood, I identify three patterns of how mothers complete work, or what I term survivalist strategies to resist career killing. Considering these strategies result from an absence of institutional support systems and structures, I also provide suggestions and resources for better supporting single moms in academia.
