Forsyth studied the Socio-Cultural Study of Sport for her PhD degree. After graduating, she was an Assistant Professor at the University of Manitoba from 2005 to 2008 and at the University of Alberta from 2008 to 2009. In 2010, she returned Western University as an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences, serving as Director for the International Centre for Olympic Studies at Western until 2015.[1][5]

Some of her research interests are centred around the Olympic Games, Canadian Residential Schools, equity issues in Canadian sport, and Aboriginal sport and health.[2]

In 2013, Forsyth was awarded the NASSH Book of the Year Award for Best Anthology for Aboriginal Peoples and Sport in Canada: Historical Foundations and Contemporary Issues , which she co-edited with Audrey Giles from the University of Ottawa,[6] and the Early Researcher Award/Premier's Research Excellence Award from the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development & Innovation.[2] In 2015, she was named the winner for best paper published in the journal Sport History for her article "Make the Indian Understand his Place: Politics and the Establishment of the Tom Longboat Awards at Indian Affairs and the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada."[7]
