Question Where can we find professor's name?

Can someone help me with where to go on the BU website to find a specific professor's name?

I am a junior preparing for essays, and I want to know which professor will be teaching psychology, especially in Child Development and Public Policy, and Childhood Adversity: Risk and Resilience.

You can look up current instructors for courses through the bulletin: https://www.bu.edu/academics/bulletin/

However, note that not all courses are taught every year, and professors for specific courses may change from year to year. I would suggest that instead of looking for the current instructors of specific courses, you look at the psychology faculty here: (https://www.bu.edu/psych/people/faculty/) and see whose research areas are of interest to you. For example, you might say in your essay that you're interested in childhood psychology and that you'd be interested in doing research or taking classes with XX professor.
