She received her doctorate in 1993 from the University of Minnesota before teaching at Clemson University. In addition, Sinke served as a Fulbright professor at the University of Tampere in Finland.
As a specialist in migration and gender studies in the U.S. context, Sinke teaches a variety of courses in U.S. and comparative history. She has authored Dutch Immigrant Women in the United States, 1880-1920, and was co-editor of Letters Across Borders: The Epistolary Practices of International Migrants and A Century of European Migrations, 1830-1930, as well as a host of articles on gender and migration.
