== Writing ==
Stoler is known for her work on the politics of knowledge, colonial governance, racial epistemologies, the sexual politics of empire, and ethnography of the archives. Her regional focus has long been Southeast Asia, though she has also written about France and Palestine.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /> Stoler works in the areas of political economy, feminism, continental philosophy, and critical race studies. Her focus is on “concept-work” and “fieldwork in philosophy”, influenced by [[Étienne Balibar|Etienne Balibar]] and [[Michel Foucault]].<ref name=":2">{{Cite journal|last=Stoler|first=Ann|last2=Clancy|first2=Erin|last3=Saperstein|first3=J.|date=2019-12-01|title="Every Sentiment Has a History": Affect and the Archive: An Interview with Ann Stoler|url=https://uknowledge.uky.edu/disclosure/vol28/iss1/14|journal=disClosure: A Journal of Social Theory|volume=28|issue=1|doi=10.13023/disclosure.28.10|issn=1055-6133}}</ref><ref name=":17">{{Cite journal|last=Daniel|first=E.

Stoler describes her youth as one of the formative aspects of her research interests, specifically of being aware of the “quotidian weight of distinctions” as a Jewish girl in class-conscious mid-20th century Long Island, adjacent to New York City and its worlds of taste and racial difference. In a 2019 interview in ''DisClosure'', she said: “Categories of people and things, race was inscribed in that everyday--in who was not in our schools, where my father worked but did not play, where winter vacations took us, in places my family would not go. I’m ever more convinced that race was a subtext in my growing up--those who would be excluded and those places my parents feared I might be excluded from.”<ref name=":2" />
