Welsh was born in Regina, Saskatchewan. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Saskatchewan, and then went on to become a Rhodes Scholar earning her Masters and Doctorate in International Relations from the University of Oxford.

Welsh is the author of two books and co-editor of several others. Her latest book is At Home in the World: Canada's Global Vision for the 21st Century. In it, she provides an alternative vision for Canada's role in international relations and contends that Canada is a "Model Citizen" not a "Middle Power". Welsh suggests that Canada can play a major role in International policy if it provides a model for other countries to follow.

Welsh delivered the 2016 CBC Massey Lectures, entitled The Return of History.
